[wp-polyglots] Seeking Maintainers

[Morgan Doocy]

One issue I've run into with Multilingual is how to deal with the 
Chinese locales. In Multilingual, the dialect isn't so important as the 
script used, so I've settled on using the IANA language tags for the 
Simplified and Traditional scripts (zh-Hans and zh-Hant), rather than 
using zh-CN, zh-TW, zh-HK, etc.

There could be a problem with doing that for the localizations though, 
if different dialects which use the same script use different 
terminology, just like the variations between pt_PT and pt_BR, for 
example.

Jeffrey and Ryan, any thoughts?
