By "gnulib pot upload" I assume you mean that the Translation Project would make a special effort to translate files containing gnulib messages? If so, I imagine you can write to the TP and ask. gnulib itself doesn't have .pot files; translations are done via the .pot files of projects using gnulib. > 2) Some of gnulib translations use non-UTF-8 but GRUB has a minimal > gettext support which in particular has only UTF-8 support.

I suggest doing the latter. Life is too short to worry about outmoded translation formats.
