They wouldn't get overridden by weblate, rather weblate would error
out with a merge error that I would then have to fix, and I'd rather
tend to avoid that :-)

Thats even worse, then you wouldn't get the sanity-checks done by
weblate and similar and likely will mess with my process of updating
templates and committing to source again as well.

but there's option
 c) for those projects really wanting to upload all at once: use the
weblate client program and use a script to automate the upload using
the API:

Sure, that can be setup. so to confirm: you want anyone, including
anonymous users without any login to be able to make suggestions?

yes, basically it is handled with pootle as well for cases where
people don't find the admin-interface for it or where the old contact
is no longer active.
