This works for most of the stuff (main UI), but not all (eg. .desktop,
.xml and .schema files translations).

No, and that's not a good idea either.  "Fuzzy" matches are those
coming from automatic similarity matches.  Eg. if a there is a
translation for "Clean File", and there is none for "Clear File", the
translation from "Clean File" might be reused for "Clear File", and
marked fuzzy.  You don't want to see these in the UI before you
actually review them by hand.

Of course, there's a discrepancy between "fuzzy" and "needs reivew"
concepts in Rosetta as well (we definitely want them separated, and
that's another thing we're working on).

Cheers,
