 There has been quite a lot of discussion within the Polyglots team about
 changing how we manage editor requests. Currently, the Make/Polyglots site
 is used to manage these requests but it's become clear that it simply
 isn't manageable as requests get lost, people forget etc. It's been
 proposed that we find a new way to handle these types of requests and
 reserve the P2 for the Global Team for other things instead.

 Current list of proposed ideas (not exhaustive at all):
 - Add new functionality into Translate.WordPress for users to click a
 button to 'request PTE' status.
 - Add a new forum to the support forums where people can post a new thread
 to request things.
 - Add a new UI to somewhere, perhaps a Rosetta site where people can
 request PTE status.
 - Add a new Trac instance so people can create a ticket for a request.

 Lots of ideas, some better than others but also some are more difficult to
 implement too.

 We need something to integrate into the current PTE workflow that'll let
 GTEs add new PTEs easily as the current workflow doesn't work very
 effectively.

 Please discuss and share ideas on how best to approach this.
