I'll rise it again, since texinfo-6.0 has been released and I upgraded 
my Fedora (21, don't want 22 for now…), once the Translation branch will 
 have been updated in French.
I've an (over)full-time job, and try to keep the French part of docs up 
to date as well as try to help, but days last only 24 hours and I've no 
skill in programming (just trying to understand but often reach my 
limits) and don't want to break anything!
