I think you misunderstood it. You "Abandon" your work, but
the translation is now pending, and note that this is not bad at
all, lots of teams use this as a TODO resource, coordinators can
load the translations so other team members know what is pending,
specially because DDTSS sort it by priority DDTP priority (which
has its own calculation/metric regarding the interest of final
user in the package, so -dev and -dbg have less priority than
regular packages).
And probably the confusion is because of the terminology
I used, by "abandoned translation" I mean anything that happened
that didn't lead to a translation, either clicking on the
"Abandon" button or just closing the browser/page.

Adding the "reivew" resource would be an option, just
to be clear, the "regular fetch" has no difference from the
"force fetch" regarding the pending status, the "force" only
adds the ability to tell DDTSS: "Yes, I know the description
is translated but I want you to load it to the pending
translations anyways".
Anytime you load a description you are loading it to
be translated, that's why it appears on the "pending" list.

We wish to have a debian-i18n pseudo package on the BTS,
but at the time we didn't have a clear demand to it. If we could
now re-raise the question, probably becase of the use of DDTP,
DDTSS, i18n.d.n and Pootle, it would be great if we could use
BTS to track it.

Thank you. I hope we can find a solution during DebCamp
and/or DebConf. :)
Kind regards
