I think it would be a good idea to open up for transiflex, i don't see
the big security problem.
it will be a dedicated user account. Transiflex has a filters so it only
can commit po files and only to the po file dir.
All commits will be shown in the commit list, so it will very hard to
sneak something in.
I have used it for yumex for a long time and have not discovered any
problems.
