would be cool to...

- create an interface for the maintainer where s/he could mark who is 
responsible for a certian .po-file (then the lock on the files would only be 
needed if a certain .po didn't have a responsible and active translator)

- add the posibility of saving the work if the translator doesn't want to 
commit the changes yet.
