None at the moment. If you want language support enabled for any other languages, find a team of volunteers (preferably, long term Fedora contributors) to act as moderators for that language. Ideally we will need atleast three moderators for each language community. If you need help, file a ticket at https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ or if it is urgent, get in touch with Kevin Fenzi, Fedora infrastructure team (nirik in #fedora-admin, Freenode) if you need help.

Rahul Sundaram has explained the history of the project here. He initiated an earlier effort for editors to interface with developers and directly answer user questions as part of the Fedora Weekly News. This effort didn't scale and is now defunct. The following are for historical record.
