Hmm.  Jonas regularly updates LilyPond's `.pot` and `.po` files.
Maybe sending them to that robot can be integrated into the release
scripts?

I think this would be a bad idea.  There are language-specific TP
teams who provide their knowledge in handling `.po` files – something
we don't have.  For example, there exists a LilyPond `.po` file for
Vietnamese!  If we no longer use the infrastructure of TP, we lose the
contact to these teams.

My conclusion: We should rather take care of sending files to the TP
robot regularly than dumping the whole process.
