Hmm... is Ubuntu translation locked down at all? Perhaps we should do
this? We have the ability to require that people be in designated
translation teams to translate.

Carlos, Jordi: perhaps we should also create another "level" of locking,
where we allow people to translate freely in languages that DO NOT have
a designated translator, but lock those that DO have a designated
translator. Make sense? That means that languages could quickly get
going, and when people have made substantial translations they can say
"OK, we'll become a designated translation team" and then stop people
from stomping on their translations as happened here.
