Actually, I have raised this a few time (and was backed up by another German translator), though it didn't get done: For German, we would like to have anonymous contributors, but much more importantly, anonymous reviewers disabled. And what I also see as a very important thing missing here is to be able to leave a message for a user regarding a specific translation they made/reviewed. The comment field looks like it might cover this, but actually it doesn't: the translators and reviewers don't usually come back to read it. The message has to be displayed directly to them, not only when they return to the specific transation. Example from today: I changed something in the wesnoth2100 translation a few hours ago, and now it's already marked as recently translated, and usually people don't check that anymore, especially when short on time. It is crucial to be able to *directly* drop them a message with respect to a translation, not through the comment field. > I am currently working in a local git repository but if people are > interested I can post the code somewhere.

I guess in the spirit of the Free Software movement that Debian is based on you should do push it and offer the git URL. :) Enjoy!
