That's the point of the process.

The "intent" step is what I just did, to get in touch with the
maintainer. Then, once we've settled on what you prefer, or (when
maintainers are unresponsive) after a "reasonable" delay, I send a
call for translations.

At the end of that call for translations, I either send the maintainer
a summary and leave him|her to upload, or I just NMU the package with
the received/updated translations.

However, the possibility that there is still only *one* translation
remains and, in such case, I still upload because I see no reason to
penalize a translator because no other translation came in.

In this specific case, I take your proposal as an "OK for a call for
translations" and I will therefore send one.

What has your preference: an upload by you or a NMU? I guess you
prefer uploading, right ?

PS: mush is still waiting for an upload, btw..:-)
