The main idea is to create a group of trusted translators and if the coordinator of a project is in doubt with assigning translation permission he/she could use this group. In launchpad I can see this entities listed here as "Translation teams" but at least for Romania there is also a person listed. https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/+languages/ro > I can't speak of those who wouldn't want to join launchpad-l10n-*, but > perhaps it would be good to check if it is the other way around as > well? That is true.
