I back your proposal. For starters you can send your patches to this ML.
For the future, you (or someone in your team) can get a svn account.
When we started setting up svn account for translators we tried to limit
them to one account by language (for administration time reasons). In
order to get this account, the current committer (Adriano Winter Bess)
should terminate his account. Then, we'll eventually see for one or two
more accounts for your team. Auke if you read this could you give your
point of view ?
