Hey Miguel,

have you looked into Transifex? The nice thing about L10n is that people
who don't know pull/push/fork stuff can also do it - and Transifex is an
open-source platform that tries to make a nice workflow around this. Maybe
Source could link out to it?

https://www.transifex.com/

Cheers,
