Fair point.  How do we work around this?
1. Can we relax the requirements for contributing translations?  To what extent?
2. It think one commit per edit-session per language sounds sane.  If
people just go around translating some random strings that they like
(which is often the case), what is the sense in asking them to write a
commit message? Maybe we can write one ourselves before committing it,
provided they signoff on all the commits? Maybe there should be an
auto-signoff option too?
