So, I read between the lines that there should be a "commit-to-repo" 
feature in D-L; I've never seen that despite having a Committer status.
Where can I see it in the D-L interface?

Is it possible that there's a bug in the setup for the team; since I'm a 
committer and in the Icelandic team but the Icelandic team does not seem 
to have any committers; could there be mangling of language codes 
([is_IS] for me vs. [is] for the team) or some other setup error ?

I'm used to offline translations via CVS, SVN, TX-client and such; Git 
is not an alien concept.
