Bug Description
Summary:
It is impossible to know when someone who is not a member of the translation team makes a contribution by sending his suggestion for a translation. It would be great to have a notification mechanism that would send a message to a list of emails or a maling list, containing links to the modified strings.
Use Case:
Imagine user A who is not part of the B team. User A decides to help out with the translation for packages C,D, and E, but since he is not a member of B, his suggestions are marked as such (instead of final translation) and will stay that way until someone from B approves/rejects them. User A vanishes from the face of the Earth.
Issue:
The problem is that we currently have no way of knowing about this ad-hoc contributions and a great number of contributions are forever lost in the system.
Solution:
A configurable property accessible by the administrator (only) of a translation team, where he/she would be able to enter a list of emails or mailing list where notifications would be send to. If a mailing list is chosen, it is up to the admnistrator of that team to make sure notification emails coming from Rosetta are allowed to go through.

I'm a non-member and it would be great if my suggestions could be notified to the team by the time I made them. It's really annoying to send an e-mail to the team members just to tell them I've translated something.
