Hi,

It was me who marked these things as reviewed, because I wanted to lock
the translations of "Datenträger" and "beständige Speicherpartition" as
they always get translated very differently by different people. It
looks like I've done that a bit fast, and overlooked a lot of typos and
inconsistencies :/

Frank has done a really awesome job. But his or her profile on Transifex
is merely 1 day old if I am not mistaken. So, to me, it seems a bit
quick to ask for reviewer credentials here... unless *you* trust this to
be a good plan for some reason (because you met/know Frank for example).

Let me explain why I think that giving credentials so quickly could be
problematic somehow:

* none of us reviews the German translations once they are pulled from
Transifex into master - as far as I know.
* reviewers get reviewer credentials for *all* translations of the
Torproject, so our decision will impact more than just the Tails
translations.

Do we need to implement a process in which we would review translations
pulled from Transifex regularly or at least from time to time? How could
we track those changes easily? Or do we simply trust peer-review on
Transifex?

Cheers!
