Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 The project page should list people specifically responsible for the
 project:
 * PTEs for the plugin/theme.
 * CLPTEs for the plugin/theme.

 Displaying "special" PTEs (for all plugins/themes) there is indeed
 misleading:
 * In theory, they can approve waiting strings. In reality, they might not
 be interested in that particular project at all. Even if they are, they
 cannot add the new translator as a PTE.
 * GTEs, on the other hand, would be glad to help, but they're not
 displayed in the list, so they won't get pinged for reviews and won't see
 the new translator's activity.
 * For ru_RU, every project appears as "taken" by 10+ people now, the small
 "These users can validate and approve your translations" notice does not
 help much.

 I agree with @nao's suggestions:
 * Remove "special" PTEs from project pages.
 * Display them in a separate section on the locale's Team page instead.
 * Add a link to the locale's Team page on each project page.

 Additional suggestions that could be implemented in in a new ticket:
 * If the project does not have a specific PTE yet, the page should say
 something like "This project is unclaimed — jump right in!", similar to
 "None, be the first?" under Translation Contributors header.
 * The project page should have a link to locale-specific instructions on
 getting started with translations.
