Well, the translators have their own signup routines, as codified in the
Translation Quick Start Guide:

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/translation-quick-start-guide/ 

Note that the instructions only ask them to sign up for the "cvsl10n"
group (Sections 2.6 and 4).  I suppose we could put in a warning of some
sort, but that seems like overkill -- after all, the Packagers group
doesn't put up admonitions not to sign up for "cvsdocs," right?  All CVS
access is granted by need with an extremely low barrier, but in this
case the need is zero, since translators in the "cvsl10n" group
automatically can deal with any documentation's "po/" folder in CVS.
