How would maintainers set this?  Do we actually have to edit every PO
file, or can we set a variable in the Makefile or something?  Editing
every PO file would be obnoxious.

Also, "go ahead and commit" isn't really a place to report to.  We could
just agree to use the string "Commit" or something to tell translators
to commit.  We'd also need a convention for "commit, but email me when
you do".
