You should tell KDE folks that their l10n handling is dramatically
flawed, giving more power to translators lower the quality of their
project. I am pretty sure that they will be happy to learn from us
on how to improve their l10n.
I forgot also to mention that contrary to your opinion, most errors in
PO files for the debian-installer were not caught by maintainers but by
people taking care of l10n.
