I admit I have mostly experience with pootle 2.1.6 and not the tip, but 
I have subscribe to the pootle-dev mailing list to see if i can get some 
more insight.

The problem comes with if you have 2+ translators for a language.

Translator 'A' is the admin,  'B' and 'C' can just suggest.

if 'B' suggests some translations and 'C' suggests some others.  'A' 
does have to approve them all  however we have no way to go back and 
generate a report after the fact as to which translations came from 'B' 
or 'C'  or even which 'A' submitted directly.

I am not familiar with Transifex. I will have to look at that.
