Comment:

 Thanks Dominik for addressing my initial issue.

 For some locales like Russian which has 10 "special" PTEs (who can
 validate all plugins), I can see how this can be problematic. We also
 don't show GTEs under "Translation Editors" list, which is misleading.
 Plugin author should first contact project specific PTE (regular PTE),
 then try to reach GTEs/special PTEs if necessary.

 To clear all confusions, I suggest these changes as an improvement:

 - On the project page, add a link to the locale's Team page (e.g.
 https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/?locale=ru_RU)
 - Mark the "special" PTEs who can validate all plugins on the Team page
 - Remove the "special" PTEs but leave regular PTEs and CLPTEs from the
 project page
