That way we can ensure a much higher quality.
Soon (for some definition of "soon"), we -- the core devs -- want to move to a system where there are one or two designated maintainers for each locale. All that really means is that those people will have direct commit access to their directory under django/conf/locale/ and in that way, commits to the given language go through them. Not every language need necessarily have a maintainer immediately, because sometimes we get a contribution and then the person disappears. A little bit of persistence will be needed before moving to that step, but for most of our common languages, you guys have already shown that level of commitment. I've been very aware of the lack of formal triage that goes on at the moment. Any large translation change from somebody I don't recognise as a regular translator, I'll usually bounce off the most recent regular translator. This particular Swedish patch had already crossed my boundary into needing another opinion before this thread started. Really small changes that look like obvious typo fixes or adding missing strings, I'll generally commit immediately, but even that's a bit risky. So, yes, we're trying to move towards a system that provides a little more double-checking for new contributors and remove the single point of failure from me. The first step (allowing Trac registration) has already happened. Jacob and I are both pretty busy at the moment, but I'll poke him again about setting up the next step. I think for most languages, it's fairly clear who the regular translators are, so hopefully there won't be any real controversy when then time comes.
