Hi!

Whom at Mozilla I have to contact to restore the locale of my spell check dictionary ([Client Challenge](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/addon/latvie%C5%A1u-valodas-pareizrakst%C4%ABb)) to the correct one?  
It original locale is lv\_LV, now (after some automated conversions by Mozilla) in the downloadable xpi’s manifest there is just lv. Latvian has two different locales - lv\_LV and lv\_LTG (see standard ISO 639-3) and for both there is different spellcheck dictionaries authored by me.

I can not upload the updated version otherwise - it throws an error:  
The locale of an existing dictionary/language pack cannot be changed.
