I'd use l10n-status.gnome.org for one reason only: you don't need to keep up with intltool updates and changes, while l10n-status.gnome.org already does that (and will continue doing so). > My personal preference would be to setup something like a > https://www.gnome.gr/translate/ I can't seem to be able to load this page, though it might be a problem on my end (I get "Not Found"). > that would allow from a Web-interface to > complete remaining translations (typically 5-20 messages) and have them > moved upstream automatically.

Basically, we want to add another criteria: changed from not-fully translated to fully translated (which would be high priority). > In another setting, one would download initially a snapshot of the .po > files for a specific language to work offline on them, have a > weekend-long translation fest on the local network (thus responsive > interface), manually verify the work for correctness and finally click > on "Move upstream" to send off in one go to GNOME CVS.

Yes, agreed, but also in the way I described in my previous e-mail: "Move upstream" should ask for CVS login and password, should not store them in any permanent storage apart from RAM (which may end up in swap on disk, but I don't think you can control that much from Python), and forget them once the operation is done.
