Well, it looks like and of course, it turns out to be a problem in the
case you describe.
In indeed didn't want to use any existing bug in order to make the
general intent of the proposed NMU (or similar action) more clearer.
I really thought the mails sent to <package>@packages.d.o went to
co-maintainers in some way. Essentiall, indeed, because I assume
they're subscribed to the package BTS.

OK, so obviously the Right Decision here is of course *stopping* any
NMU action.
Translators, if you work on translation updates for blosxom, PLEASE
SEND THEM AS BUG REPORTS TO THE PACKAGE.
Gerfried, I suggest you wait a bit before uploading a l10n-fixed
version.
It's very likely that you get a few more translations and missing them
would be a bad surprise to translators.
Up to now, I was planning ton include in the (now cancelled) NMU:
* Translations:
- French added. Closes: #266941
- Japanese added: Closes: #270469

Well, there are already bugs opened. Indeed, I currently choose
packages which are missing a French translation (after all, I'm doing
that boring work and thus "my" team should benefit it..:-))). So, I
could as well send a notice to #266941 here....
This is what I would have done if building the NMU : the NMU patch
would have been sent to #266941
