Quoting the site:

"If you are not a committer, you will have to register
an account with the system and have a project admin
grant you moderator access."


This happens to be the same access model we need for
Pootle. (Runs and hides in a cave)

Why hide. It's brilliant. Comments can be translation suggestions! The trick is using that to bootstrap an NL community to have individuals earn enough merit to become Committers. Google translate can help others access the value of the suggestions. Non-committers can be given karma to moderate and then can help with translations.

A good question to ask Infrastructure is if the id system and moderator role in comments.apache.org can be reused by pootle.apache.org without losing id.apache.org.
