I agree with Johannes, especially about the quality. As an easy fix for this, couldn't we just keep the translations in a git.gnome.org module? It would not allow us to run intltool-udpate and all that, but that would probably be ok as long and the maintainers would fetch new translations and update translation files with new strings regularly.
