Hi Thibault,

There is more or less two level of translation supports in D-L.
The first one is "simply" a status of current module translations + 
updated pot and merged po files ready for translators to use.
That's the case for all freedesktop modules.

The second is ability to commit translations from the Web interface. We 
do not support Github currently for this feature.

So I would say that hosting translation stats would be fine IMHO. Adding 
commit support is another story, even if it should not be so much effort 
(to be evaluated, still).
