Here is the list who is who of Indian libreoffice l10n as per the language team list 
:-)

Assamese - Nilamdyuti Goswami 
Bengali (India) - Sankarshan/Runa 
Bodo - Sanjib Narzary 
English - Stuart Swales 
Gujarati - Ankit Patel 
Hindi - Rajesh Ranjan 
Kannada - Vikram Vincent/Shankar Prasad 
Maithili - Sangeeta Kumari 
Malayalam - Manu Unni V G 
Marathi - Sandeep Shedmake 
Nepali - Saaz Rai 
Oriya - Manoj Kumar Giri 
Punjabi - A S Alam 
Tamil - Ve. Elanjelian 
Telugu - Arjuna Rao Chavala/Krishnababu Krothapalli
Urdu - Khunshan Shabbir

On status page, all languages' translation are present though language teams are for only for the 
^^ mentioned names. Teams need to be created for the following: Dogri, Kashmiri, Konkani, Manipuri, 
Sanskrit, Santali, Sindhi. Chandrakant is eager to push the translation for these languages. 
Probably the previous translations done for openoffice (possibly by c-dac) are here with 
libreoffice.

Through English is not in official 22, but I have added en-GB as well as this is one official 
language and its important in India is not less. So for overall promotion purpose we can count this 
language also.

Sure...I have not any problem start discussing here right now but would like to come here with 
inputs from other languages' team maintainers and possibly after a face-to-face cum irc meeting 
with the people mentioned from lo team. This will be a inclusive view and would be more helpful to 
work for the plan decided here on the on the mailing list later.
