Right, we've the following bug already filed in Bugzilla, it might be of
interest (not only) to you:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=568770

It goes without saying that the current Vertimus is already doing a huge
amount of work for us, however, it's evident that it doesn't fully support
workflow in teams, which have these translation maintainers, as you call
it. In contrast to the teams that reserve & translate packages ad hoc,
there's a need for an extra reservation every time the reservation gets
reset, e.g. after a translation update commit is announced in Vertimus, so
team can continue to maintain a reliable, current enough overview of who
translates what.

Yes, that'd be nice to have too. :-)
