My suggestion is to create a multilangual html-form 'request
author-role' (Autorenrole beantragen).
This form will have a post-action, send a message with a short default
text an the ooauthors-username to the list and to some emailadresses of
persons with manager-role on OOoAuthors.org.
As cool as that is, one advantage of using email is that it is more
"personal". You get to "meet" the person, talk a little, say "hey,
welcome aboard!" etc. And I think that's important.
We can design the website so anyone can edit files without having the
author role. We added the author role in purpose, for the reason above.
Of course, we can change this for each language. So, for example, we
could require the author role in the English section but not German.
Cheers,
Daniel.
