Probably this was discussed already (but I do not remember): It would be preferred if an updated translation is handled without action from the maintainer. First of all a few do not like dealing with translations, other forgot it, it fills the BTS with not very important entries, ... Why not automate it? Whenever a new package is build (maybe only on the autobilders?) a debhelper tool could request all translations from the i18n server and update existing ones. This makes at least for native Debian strings (debconf templates) sense. For other upstream messages a specified action could be choosen such as sending a mail, a commit to a version control system, ... Once there is no new package upload after a significant progress in translations, a reminder could be send to the package maintainer. The maintainer should also be able to set a "pending" flags on the i18n server for his packages if he has good reasons not to upload soon.
