Well, it's true, but I wish could have a better answer.

Same for https://translate.fedoraproject.org
As main admin, I do first config to help project to get onboard, but I
also promote a user as admin.

From my point of view any open-source license project is welcome in
Fedora translation platform. They only have to open an issue there:
https://pagure.io/fedora-l10n/tickets

What makes us different with https://hosted.weblate.org?

We are a structured community sharing open-source values with
experienced translators
* Structured community: we have language teams
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N_Teams and a global translator
mailing list
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/trans@lists.fedoraproject.org/
* we have open-source values:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/#_freedom

The main question we may ask, is what do we ask in exchange?
Fedora community has a budget, part of this budget goes to pay for
Weblate hosting.

Do we want projects to respect some rules?
Rule examples:
* announce translation readiness to translators one week before release?
* include translators in credits
* allow translation of website and man-pages
