Hm, no. For one package on my disk, get the addresses of all recent
translators in a form that I can paste in a Cc line.

Of course it's quite trivial. Still there may be pitfalls (like
different coding of the names), and why should I try myself if there's
yet one?

Here's a first try, not taking care of any coding issues:

grep "Last-Translator" debian/po/*.po | sed -e 's/.*\(<.*@.*>\).*/\1, /g' | tr "\n" " " | sed -e 's/,  $/\n/'

It would be nice if debconf-updatepo could fire up an editor for an
e-mail with those recipients, a boilerplate text and templates.pot as an
attachment. Unfortunately, I'm not the one who's going to write the
patch this week or next...
