I fully support the idea, but I have a few comments (see below).

I would say ITR (Intend to review) instead of ITT (adding tags to the
various bots is a very easy task).

Why would you ask for an ACK to submit a wishlist bug proposing an
improvement? I would move this ACK request between step4 and step5
(which would also give time to maintainers to "review the review" before
starting the translation updates).

Note also that this action should be coordinated with the debconf
maintainers. The support of the "Note" template is probably going to be
dropped, but I don't know when. If it's early in the release cycle (and
knowing that many of these debconf notes are pointless even in a
NEWS|README.Debian files), it would be a waste of time to review these
templates.
