This is not how our workflow is going, if it's in Pootle then we have to
review it and work on it and it will double our work. More, it's even
not a translation work.

I don't say it's because of you of course :) what I mean is that these
space typos introduce a lot of work for l10n for a very little gain for
documentation.

There are a lot of suggestions done through Pootle already where commits
should not have gone through but should have been reviewed before
impacting all of us.
But if you want to work on typos, corrections and enhancements that will
serve both documentation and l10n, I would be very happy to work with
you on this, I triage all the suggestions for Olivier already, and I can
forward to you what needs to be corrected. Would you be interested on
working on this with me?
Cheers
Sophie
