I think that is a good idea.  In fact, would it be more productive to
tweak the current workflow a bit so that translators can pull directly
from git instead of using tarballs?  I am referring to the libc.pot
workflow documented in our Release wiki[1] that requires the release
manager to upload a tarball and then email coordinator AT
translationproject DOT org.  Instead, the glibc release manager could
just send out the email when they update libc.pot and translators can
pull from git.  I reckon this could even be automated in a git
post-commit hook.

Thoughts?
