Comment:

 The issue is specific to translate.wordpress.org because it's now powering
 the translations for my plugins and, as a plugin author, I'm unable to
 moderate these translations.

 So:

 > How can I be assured that a translator or locale moderator does not
 change one of these fields to show their own name or link for my plugin?

 The warning in #polyglots-warnings is handy, but I'm guessing most plugin
 authors aren't going to keep an eye on that channel. Is this sufficient?
 Is there another notification that can be set up to alert a plugin author
 if one of these fields is translated?
