Can we use https://gitlab.gnome.org/Community/Translation and set up
translation teams as issue labels there?

Alternatively, we could make Community/Translation a group and set up
languages as individual projects within that team. That could give teams
a better control over where and how to submit issues against their language.

My 5¢.
