The discussion brings out the point that expertise in English is crucial for BIP editors since the main repository should remain in English to maintain clarity and accessibility. This ensures that contributions and reviews can be universally understood, fostering a more inclusive environment for developers globally.

Furthermore, the suggestion to include a translations subdirectory within the BIPs repository is proposed as a method to accommodate non-English speakers. This approach would allow for translations to be managed through volunteer efforts, either via pull requests or platforms such as Transifex. Despite the encouragement for translations, it is stressed that the English version of any BIP should be considered the authoritative reference. This policy aims to streamline revision processes and minimize confusion among contributors.

The correspondence also touches upon the advantages of having additional maintainers for the repository, particularly for facilitating collaborative review processes for drafts like BIP322. Such a move would presumably enhance the efficiency and thoroughness of the review process, ultimately contributing to the production of higher-quality BIPs.
