How about a chain: code reference in a PO file -> svn blame on that file -> 
match lines and send mail to respective author (and somewhere else, for 
global overview)?

I agree, it seems to me that there is considerable untapped potential for 
cooperation among translators. Even I myself find bugs.kde.org to be quite 
an overhead for purpose of corrections (and not only typos) and context 
addition to messages; I hope that specialized, easy to use 
correction/context report tool would indeed make a difference.
