Wrong. The Tx instance at Fedora is not the "common instance", but the 
(AFAIK) only actually _working_ instance, that's all. If I understand 
correctly, it's not even intended as the common instance, but as a 
testbed for current development.

I think we all agree on this. The current e-mail based TP robot method 
is clearly outdated and sucks, replacing it with a more modern tool 
would be more than desirable. Now, we only have to convince the TP crew :).

I think you are right, asking people to be part of FP who don't want to 
be part of FP and to give their personal data to any specific company, 
is not very lucky. But currently nobody is obliged to do so: if you 
don't want to register there, it's fine, then somebody else will do the 
translations, if at all, and nothing wrong will happen if those projects 
will not be translated - even then, you can still put translations into 
downstream, if you want.

The most important thing is, that the FP's Transifex is a kind of test 
environment and I'm sure (speculation begins ;)) it won't become the 
"ultimate" Tx - exactly because of your concerns. And after Tx becomes 
mature enough, anything can happen, including converting TP to a common 
Tx hub, setting up a GNOME-hosted Tx for external GNOME dependencies, 
setting up another one on f.d.o, etc. - and this is only what I can 
imagine :).
