There must be a small, trusted team of Ubuntu translators who can
approve such changes/additions (some language teams implemented this
already, by kicking almost everybody out of the team), and they need
proper workflow tools in rosetta (which are almost completely absent
now, but Christian says Carlos is working on that).
