Dear Sophie, Christian Lohmaier, and Christian Kuehl,

I have a request about Weblate.  Currently translators can't change the
translation in languages other than their own, and can only make suggestions.
This seems to me a good policy.  However Weblate users not authorized to change
translations can't make language-specific comments either, and this make it hard
for suggestion makers to justify their suggestion, which is a not-so-good policy
IMHO.

My specific grievance is about bug 142813 [1] and German translation.  As a bug
triager I put the suggestion by the bug reporter into Weblate [2], but it just
got deleted by the German translator Christian Kuehl.  I tried to contact him via
email a week ago, but hasn't got any reply yet (maybe his Gmail account treat my
Chinese address as spam, won't surprise me).

So may I, as a QA person who regularly triages l10n bugs, ask for Weblate
permission to add comments for all languages?  Or alternatively, someone with
permission please add a German-specific comment on [2] and let the German
translators know about the bug [1].

Finally as a side note, it would be nice if there is a point-person from the
German l10n community that has an email address registered on Bugzilla, so that
relevant bugs can be easily CC'ed to, instead of just a mailing list address
listed on [3].

Regards,
Ming
