What to do if catched by the "l10n NMU" patrol ?
It might happen that you (I mean you, gentle reader of this blog) being a Debian developer or maintainer, just receive one of my numerous "Intent to NMU to fix pending l10n bugs" or "Announce of the upcoming NMU of ". The first gives you 10 days to react....then I send the latter which opens an 8 days translation update round.

In such case, as the carefully written template for these (pretty long) mails says, please DON'T immediately upload. Speak to /me instead so that we coordinate the translation update round. That will also allow me to send you possible QA enhancements I found in your packaging while trying to build your package *and* translators to send more material.

Some (rare) maintainers just uploaded immediately after getting these mails and they're now getting what could be expected: they're receiving new translations...and are then likely to be catched pretty soon by the patrol, again..:-).

The "intent to NMU" mails are sent to the i18n mailing list and some translators find this to be a good opportunity to send translations in their language (that's why Finnish, Galician are for instance climbing up pretty quickly in statistics).

The main intent of these NMUs is to get updates done, not doing NMUs so, of course, I will welcome uploads...it is however more efficient to coordinate them.
