Well, I would have to caution that translations by people who are not
familiar with Git would also be in many cases suboptimal, too.  Have you
seen translations of technical books by nontechnical people?

... In practice I guess interested Translators (who are not 
interested in every code detail) will unsubscribe after a few days and 
then miss all the fun.

Ever heard of mail filtering by say Subject: or even From: ? ;)

A git-i18n mailing list could coordinate that. It would not be a list 
for l10n teams to do their internal coordination, but for the i18n 
coordinator to notify l10n teams about updated POT files (he might 
even merge PO files) and for l10n teams to ask about strings they are 
unsure about. These questions would then be digested by the i18n 
coordinator and brought to the attention of the developers if needed.

How does that sound?

That is entirely up to the l10n coordinator. Are you volunteering?
