The point is keeping maintainers aware of all steps of the process so
that they can comment at any point.

Of course, mails are long but one cannot know when a maintainer sees
this for the first time or not.

About putting most informations on a wiki page, I'm probably too
old-minded: I work mostly by mail, being offline very often....so I
dislike when information is only available online...

The translator will be notified if he really pays attention, but
that's all. In general, I recommend discussing about changes in
translations even when maintainers are speakers of a given language as
the really authoritative source should remain the l10n team (overall
consistency in translations and such things).
