Review process for translations

[Frederik Schwarzer]

Hi Thiago,

thanks for the insights into your teams workflow.
Sending PO files is one thing I would like to get rid of because if I 
receive a file and do not have the time to check and upload it 
directly, it might get lost. With phabricator I can check weeks or 
even months later and ping the author again. Of course with 
phabricator the diff stored there is useless for PO files once the 
original file changes a bit. ... But well, that's why I want to get 
away from it ... :D

Regarding being notified about commits, I really miss commit filter. We 
used that back then to be more open to "just commit" strategy because 
it was easy to keep track of what went in.

Cheers
