Hi, Fabio Tranchitella wrote podebconf-report-po (see #257125), a tool for package maintainers to send outdated translations to last translators so that they have a chance to update their translations before packages are uploaded. This tool is currently designed to deal with debconf templates and has thus been included in the latest po-debconf package. The idea is that when templates are edited, maintainers run $ debconf-updatepo $ podebconf-report-po The former command propagates changes from templates file to PO files, and the latter send PO files which are not fully translated to the last translator (by parsing the Last-Translator field of PO files). By doing so several days before a new package is uploaded, translators have a chance to provide updated translations. This will not only help translators, but also package maintainers since early updated translations should reduce the number of uploads to incorporate l10n updates.
