why is that a pain? It's more the usual way in my eyes. It's not that write access can not be given, but there is a lot of trust needed to give contributors full write access. So why not start as every contribution is typically starting? In the old days a patch set was needed to send to a list, this isn't needed as creating MRs on Salsa is really easy and cheap. If you can contribute at a high level we can grant write access to the webwml repo later. Even previous Debian project leaders doing MR for updating the Debian website. > We currently have 80-90 pages with outdated translations so this would > create a big overhead and I don't want to disturb the other members in > their work.

The typical review can be done at any time. -- Regards Carsten
