For manpages-l10n I collect FIXMEs and send them upstream, which is
more akin to bug reports about individual errors. However, I do not 
"teach" them in l10n-friendly editing fundamentals. This might be a 
side note in a conversion, but not much more from my side.

Maybe we could start by collecting "best practices" within the l10n
teams and then thinks about how to best "teach" those to the english
authors?
