Completely agree. That's why we've also introduced a Maintainer. A
Translator doesn't really "own" a file, the Maintainer does. If you've
been translating, in fact, maintaining a certain module in the past,
we'd make you the Maintainer of that module. This gives you an even
greater visibility into who's currently working on the file, since
you'll be notified if someone takes the module or commits the file. As
Maintainer, you are allowed to step in at any time, and release the
module from the current translator, and either let somebody else take
it, or take it yourself. Previously, there was no way for you to keep
another translator from committing a file you've been working on, and
worse, you wouldn't even have known about it.
OK, so I will stand as the maintainer of all the modules that I have
translated till now?
best regards
