Well, there is one at https://translations.launchpad.net/audacity .
All that is required there is that a developer talks with Launchpad
about using it, and probably there's some setup required to get the
.po-files from Launchpad into Audacity's sourceforge branch
(wget+cron? =P), but I know of at least one other project that uses
Launchpad exclusively for translations ( https://launchpad.net/noserub
).

>From there on, a developer just has to give at least one person per
language rights to approve translations, which shouldn't be too hard.
If it should ever happen that someone puts in a bunch of work which
takes forever to be approved (like if someone completely drops out
without handing down the responsibility), it will at least be very
visible and the developers and translators involved should be able to
sort it out (eg. give another translator the right to approve).

I may be wrong about Pootle, but at the moment the mood in here seems
rather dim and I'd rather we try changing the light bulbs[1] than not
doing anything at all.
