I agree with Danilo, this makes sense.

It saves us time, and means we won't be putting in multiple string- 
freeze-breakage reports. I'm not entirely sure which files are  
limited by the string freeze anyway, or what to report, so I'd  
appreciate a script which funnelled this data to a list translators  
could monitor.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to contribute this facility, either. :
