Thanks Aafi! I was not sure how limited this right was, so thanks for confirming this. This means that only CN admins (52 accounts now have this right, but there are a lot of double names in this list <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers/centralnoticeadmin>) and Stewards (27 people at the moment) can do this. One of the suggested improvements in the exchange on Phabricator now is to indeed add the right to publish the translations of CN banners to the rights of translation admins.
(Mind you: there was also a very persistent bug <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T308614> that was solved around June/July this year, that indeed prevented users to mark the translations as patrolled. That bug is solved now, and this feature request actually evolved out of that specific bug report.)
