RSS and email notification for translations that needs review

[Rachid]

Hi Adi,

Great to see your work. Recently, I also made a tool[1] to support our work
of translating Ubuntu. I've mailed it to this list[2]. I see that there is
some overlap in our tools (reading status from Launchpad).

What's more interesting is that I recognize the "problem" of reserving and
finishing translations. We, the Dutch Translators, also have some packages
with old suggestions. This could demotivate new potential translators.

Launchpad.
Maybe it's a bit offtopic for this thread. But are there ideas to improve
Launchpad on this areas? I have several ideas.
 - From Adi: translators can subscribe on packages, and get notified on new
suggestions
 - Reserve packages: Some sort of subscribe which indicates that you are
working on/responsible for this package
 - And more...
If there aren't such plans, we could investigate the feasibility for this.
