I think the core is that we want to be able to apply simple fixes without 
going through a great bureaucracy. Some stuff as these patches are the same 
for all .po files. If we had to go through the maintainers (not all of which 
are always active) it would be a bit of a mess and a simple fix could wait 
for a long time.
Also, some stuff like decideing whether to have fuzzy header bits doesn't 
make much sense to delegate to to the individual maintainers.
