Why do you think, that status page for Spanish is broken?
I guess it is, because you do not see your bugreport for systemd-boot-installer
there, right?
In that case I can say, that this is not a problem with the status page!
systemd-boot-installer is a package belonging to the debian-installer
(https://packages.debian.org/sid/systemd-boot-installer), so it's a udeb
package, not a normal debian package. And these udeb packages are treated
differently when it comes to translations:
the debian-installer has its own infrastructure to deal with translations,
and therefore translators should NOT work on the udeb packages directly
(like you did with your report
"#1074292 [INTL:es] Spanish translation of systemd-boot-installer debconf template"
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1074292 ).
To prevent translators to work on those packages directly, I have implemented
a mechanism some time ago, to exclude udeb packages from the above status pages.
Therefore you do not see your report there.
(Yes, I know you found that package there one day, and because of this you
worked on it, but that was simply, because I missed to add the new
package to the 'IGNMATERIAL' variable in time; which I then did some days later:
https://salsa.debian.org/l10n-team/dl10n/-/commit/bdd61bb4cf8fc56ed16aea22f7345c628b76547a
So, systemd-boot-installer appeared on the status pages, and then
disappeared again.
I know this is not optimal, and it's all fairly complicated in the end :-(

Hmm, reading this makes me think, that the systemd-boot-installer issue
is not your only problem with the status pages?

Thanks for your time anyway!
I know Debian has its issues, and that often annoys people.
In the end, it always boils down to lack of people and lack of time...
