At this stage, the docs-modules won't show up at all in DL if we can't generate some DL-friendly stats. And I'm not volunteering to fix DL to support this, and I rather see DL die before F11 translations start :)

What I can do is provide publican-statistics like the following:
http://asgeirf.fedorapeople.org/docstats/release-notes.master/

These stats are updated hourly, but could do it more often (polling the upstream repo for changes is a rather cheap operation)

I'll see if I can find some time looking into cleaning up these stats a bit, giving translators:
- URL to the git-web-checkout for each PO file, 
- URL to the module-specific page for transifex. 
- List of documents we provide stats for

It would be nice to have this more integrated with DL, but personally I don't have time to do this.

cheers,
