1) Listing of package string changes (As translators often work on a
large number of packages, email notification is going to overwhelm
INBOXes.)

#2 doesn't specify the backend.  #2 specifies that if you are
translating package foo for language hungarian, then you don't want me
to come in and retranslate it.  Do you disagree with this?

But we can add:
3) Ability to edit translations in a single file/location that can be
