Yes, this could be improved.  We have a general 'translations'
component in bugzilla in the Xfce product, but I think of that as more
of a place to report errors in .po files, not issues with the original
strings. (At any rate, those sorts of errors should be discussed here
anyway; I don't think bugzilla is a great place for that.)

I guess if something is unclear, ask here on this list.  Some of the
developers regularly read this list too.  I tend to skim it, but a
subject line like "unclear English string 'foo'" would probably catch my
eye.
