No, please do not want to rely on "then the maintaner will commit the 
files/merge the branch".

He won't, sorry.

This is of course the worst case scenario, but we should be prepared for 
that. For example, we already have two external deps for which the 
translation process relies on the maintainer committing po files from 
Bugzilla. Of these two, one maintainer commits such translations, the 
other(s) do not[1].

Another similar example is GNU TP, where pot files are updated when the 
maintainer pushes them, and translations are also committed by the 
maintainer. These events may or may not happen, consequence is that 
GStreamer stats are out of sync between TP and Damned-lies[2].

This shows to me that expecting the maintainer to push our translations 
is not a reliable process (it involves busy humans, yay!), so we should 
try to search for solutions where the only human involved in pushing 
translations to the repository is the L10N team's committer.
