I agree about no need for formal review, processes etc. However there is a need for a check of the quality of the en_US version, per the original request from Olivier. And it is really time consuming and error prone for localizers to not rely on a clear and understandable explanation or when several strings are used for the same dialog, button, action, etc. Of course, for the typo etc, during the translation time, no problem to rely on the l10n team to correct them (and thank you for fixing so fast), but that does not solve the problem of the overall quality of the en_US version. And I know that I don't propose any satisfying solution for developers or localizers :) /me still thinking about it.
