According to Humdinger, these are the current language managers who
would need wiki permissions:
  "HaikuBot"
  "humdinger"
  "koki"
  "mzunigag_mx"
  "beosfrance"
  "VinDuv"
Of course in time, additional managers may come forward.
At least for now, +1 for limiting it just to managers.

Any issues before I create the "translator" role and assign it to the
users mentioned above?

i18n crew : is this suggested hierarchy satisfactory? Do you need to modify it?
