Yes, please; this would be of great service to us, one-man teams, who 
don't have to ask ourselves for revisions or permissions to proceed ;-)
But mostly it's a question of ergonomics and health issues (wrist strain)...

My dream is of course to be able to upload multiple files at once, 
especially after correcting/adapting/streamlining a term in various 
files, or when some dev has fuzzied a bunch of strings in plenty of 
places (applying typographic conventions, updating notions of years, or 
just some cosmetic features).

I won't mind if this is a ""shortcut" for trusted 
translators/proofreaders", depends though on the definition of who would 
be those trusted translators/proofreaders.
