Given the number of times that translators have broken the build of
our module, Gnome Games, because they don't run make check before they
commit. I'm 100% opposed to any configuration in which translators are
freed from the responsibility of making sure that they didn't break
something.

Both of these proposals are good ideas but will cause many headaches
unless the make check is automated somehow.
