At the moment, a new translation volunteer, when we create a new account

allows to assign a translator to one (or more) languages. And we need to
use permissions more wisely also in preparation for the future genlang
system (this would only be a first step in that respect).
So I propose, subject to lazy consensus, that if a person volunteers for
languages X and Y we assign permissions to edit only the translations into
languages X and Y. All accounts created in 2014 (and many of those created
in 2013) already have the correct per-language permissions, so if we unset
the "global" permission they will continue to work normally. The change is
retroactive, but of course the l10n list will be notified and if any
translator lacks permissions we will reassign them for the right languages.

If you cannot change the "global" setting, let me know and I will change it.

Note: committers have a different set of permissions. The change affects
only non-committers; most of our new translators are not, or not yet,
committers.
