On the other hand it is just annoying if there is only one or two
translators or if you want to commit a one-liner fix to a module "owned"
by someone else.
For the case there's only one or two translators, we can potentially, if
desired, exclude these languages from the process. For the case that you
simply want to commit a one-liner to a module "owned" by someone else, I
strongly disagree. Why? Because if someone is taking a module, that
person is starting to translate it (or so it should be). If you fix a
one-liner while another person is translating the file, you might just
introduce a conflict.
Having the mechanism available is definitely useful but maybe it
would be easier for everybody not to enforce it for CVS access.

The reason we introduced it, is because we had a lot of people asking
for exactly such mechanism. But I'm happy to discuss the issue, and am
not set either way. I simply felt it was the right thing to do. I could
have been wrong.
