The locking aspect is certainly useful, that is true. But this is
mostly for heavily active projects, and I suspect people aren't
crowding each other in the translation submissions...

Uploading them to the translation platform is no guarantee of them
being submitted to the codebase, though I see your point.
Another distinction:
I see your point in the various distributions still using the stable
versions, but do those providing binary packages actually repackage? I
would assume submitting additional code to the project would require
another release before it went live?
