OK, is anyone opposed to this idea? I would register a pgfoundry
project (name suggestions? "translations"?), give most established
translators commit access, and move the statistics pages there. Also,
some translation groups seem to have their own mailing lists or web
pages, which could optionally also be hosted there.
We could then sync the translations either regularly (e.g., once a week)
or only at release time. Of course we would need to mirror all the
branches there.
Comments?
