Hi Carlos,

Yes, translators are encouraged to use Damned Lies instead of accesing Git
directly, but some translators (me, for example) might use an automated
script (1) to push a bunch of translations instead of doing it one by one
in Damned Lies, which implies so much click-work to upload and commit a PO
file into a single module.

Of course this is a very isolated case, since not all translators use this
kind od tools nor need access to git. In my personal case I've also fixed
wrong strings in documentation or commited patches into several modules, so
I needed Git access.

About merge requests I don't know exactly how it works, but I don't
consider it be neccesary for translations. It could also generate a
high-traffic for maintainers and delay translators daily work.

Best regards
