The difference is that code fixes can ONLY be committed by committers
whereas Babel changes can be changed by anyone.

should not happen very often. I was just thinking about the similar
case
in code fixes. People attach their suggest fixes to Bugzilla. And, a
committer
has to commit the changes into cvs.
Our legal team just wants to make
sure
we track where all the changes/translations came from. For example, one
contributor tells me he translated one string by himself and tells me
to
commit that. But, later on, we figure that he copied some copyrighted
translations
from somewhere. We need to be able to track this down and remove that.
I don't think it's worth our
time to implement a feature where we ask for the reason for each
translation because nobody is going to use it. At least that's my
judgment. I understand the legal team's reasoning, but it's just not
realistic so we should spend our time doing something more useful.
