Thanks a lot for considering this -- it would be absolutely fantastic. FWIW I have two main usecases: * A current limitation of D-L is that it's not possible to have inline discussions of changes. Compare to Gitlab merge requests where any line can be commented and have a full discussion thread. In order to have inline discussions one needs to use another tool for the proofreading part of the workflow, and hence most of the clicking in D-L is unnecessary. * Normally 90% of changes happen in 10% of modules. The other 90% of modules have very few changes and it makes sense to proofread them in a single batch after translating those modules with many changes. But manually committing every small change is a lot of clicking. (I also dream of having a commit-multiple-files option. It could preview the change in translation stats so it's easy to verify that each file is committed to the right module.)
