This was indeed the idea I had. I feel like an unconnected user should 
be able to contribute by submitting suggestions.

Use case I see, are people who:
* don't feel like being officially part of an l10n team to help
* don't like the idea of creating one more account somewhere
* don't feel safe or legitimate to contribute (for reasons we may or may 
not understand)
* haven't understand yet how to join us


I also feel like subscribing to the l10n mailing list should not be 
mandatory, but just an invitation.

This is how it worked for me in the Nextcloud team, I joined, I 
contributed, and someone sent me a welcome message and told me about 
there were a mailing where to ask question and a little documentation to 
harmonize the translation.
As I understand saying hello to a mailing list is being polite, do we 
really want to force this to start contributing?


Kind remember about mailing lists: we try to limit quotes on what is 
mandatory to understand the answer ;)
