Yeah, and Carlos' "new" (and now we could call them "prolonged and
delayed") status pages were supposed to have that.  We need to nag him
about it (I've added him to CC, even though he's reading gnome-i18n ;).

You can also try "intltool-update -r" (where I found another bug now,
it tries to call GetLanguageFromPOFile, instead of
POFile_GetLanguage), to get basic report of translation status.

I agree it would be useful, and if Carlos gets lazy again (he says
"distracted", uses some lame excuses such as "exams", "work" or
something else he makes up ;), perhaps I could create a set of scripts
that would parse the current status pages to get per-module stats.
