+Well, the sentence reads: "1455 src.rpm rebuilt for Mageia out of 1513
+(96%) (list of 58 Mandriva packages still present). You can help!."
+
+I understand it as, 1455 successfully rebuilt, on 1513 submitted at
+least once (and 58 left to be submitted). If this is wrong, please
+correct me and specify what should be said instead.
+
+The main goal is to show two types of progress:
+ - packages left to take a hold on;
+ - packages left to be built and uploaded in the tree;
+
+and to give a hint for page viewers that, if they do not already, they
+may contribute to this.
+
+All of this is of relative value, but that's a first try.
