Do we need commit rights to edit an online doc file? Or to submit a
translation? My understanding of this is it’s tied to the application only
by a URL. Thus, in no way does that affect the code. It’s a simple link to a
website.

Can we turn this into a wikipedia-like way to go? If for some reason someone
makes an error and mixes things or deletes some content, we have ways to
return to the previous stage. I see a lot of disadvantages at pulling out a
file, edit away and then pushing it back, while there are ways to work in a
collaborative (and sync) mode.
