I'd like to raise another issue with translations. Now that we have
integrated with launchpad's translations service, I'd like to merge
changes from there back in to trunk, especially since it looks like
Christian and Kshitij are contributing translations via launchpad :).

I currently have the launchpad integration committing changes
automatically to the bzr branch

  https://code.launchpad.net/~apparmor-dev/apparmor/launchpad-translations-branch

(I didn't want to let it automatically commit to trunk.)

In particular, the initial changes launchpad made in rewriting back
the .po files are are rather large. Attempting to review these via
the list I think would be unwieldy at best.

I'd like to have the group's consensus that changes made via launchpad
should be treated as a patch submission, and that a reviewer with
commit access should be able to merge these changes to trunk, without
needing to go to the list (obviously, the list is available should
specific questions arise). And of course, it would be on the person
doing the merge to review the changes to confirm that they're sane,
to the extant possible without having knowledge of the languages
in question.

I ask, because translations people have made fixes and I would like
to get them incorporated into trunk, and so I want to move on getting
the two trees in sync.

Are people okay with this? Is there another way we should handle this?

Thanks.
