[Xfce-i18n] introducing myself [et]

[Kristjan Siimson]

In fact, when I first expressed interest in joining Xfce translation
efforts, I pointed out the same exact document. Mr. Vois did not seem
to be very excited on this, and I decided to not discuss this further.
But I'm on same page as you.

P.S! I haven't had any response on gaining commit access, so I'm not
any better off there.

Sincerely,
Kristjan Siimson
