Hi,
There is nothing we can do, maintainers are responsible for their
packages and we cannot force them to put l19n related stuff in
a public CVS area.

Normally statistics should be pretty accurate, you do not need version
information. But maybe you are looking for
http://gluck.debian.org/~barbier/l10n/material/data/unstable.gz
http://nonus.debian.org/~barbier/l10n/material/data/unstable.gz
These files contain data used to generate all the files under
w.d.o/intl/l10n/po-debconf/.
You may also wish to focus on the debian-installer, see
