Comment (by Nao):

 To summarize, the steps will be:

 1. Initiate a PTE Request: Either on Rosetta or translate.wordpress.org.
 Need to send username and project name.
 2. Create a public post: On a new Make P2, trac, or forum section.
 3. GTEs receive the request: On Rosetta or translate.wordpress.org (if new
 admin backend is to be created). For now, this may have to be an
 aggregated view of the system used in step 2 + wordpress.org notification
 system using a certain keyword.
 4. GTEs approve request or decline with reasons: The resolution is posted
 back to the system used in step 2.

 Here are my thoughs on each steps.

 '''Step 1:'''
 I think translate.wordpress.org is most suitable because starting the
 workflow from there feels more natural & less confusing. Translators are
 already translating on it and plugin/theme authors are looking at the list
 of contributors to determine who should be a PTE.

 '''Step 2:'''
 Creating a new Make P2 sounds good to me. GTEs are most familiar with the
 format - some of GTEs may not be used to using Trac. Forums currently
 don't have a way to show all unresolved with a certain tag, so that may
 require more customization.

 '''Step 3:'''
 Even if we don't have the resource to get a new system for this step, it's
 still an improvement to get other steps more streamlined.
