Comment (by tellyworth):

 How does this sound as a MVP solution? -

 We create a special bbpress forum, one per locale, specifically for
 translation feedback.

 Each forum would be on translate.w.org with a URL something like
 `translate.wordpress.org/feedback/ru`.

 Only translation editors will be able to make new topics. Translators can
 reply.

 From the transation UI, editors will have a link that takes them to a
 separate page on the translation feedback forum where they can either
 create a new topic for the string; or reply to the existing topic if there
 is one. This page will be a custom version of the bbpress New Topic UI.

 When feedback is given, an email notification will be sent to the
 translator with a link to the bbpress topic.

 I'm proposing doing things this way because all of the work can be done in
 a bbBress theme/plugin, rather than within GlotPress. I think that will be
 easier to get started than the other way around.

 Later we can integrate a UI inside GlotPress.
