In the current status, there are only one contributor still submitting
translations via mailing list on a basis, and the list is quite
silent, so I haven't met such conflicts. If someday such situation
appears, I will let the people submit something to mailing list have a
look at LP contributions, and make a decision on which and how to use
it. Most language are only available from launchpad, and few language
has upstream translators (around five, perhaps).

No, because not all developers like to pull translations from LP, so
the mailing list will be kept.

Well I don't send it to mailing list, but directly to the svn if there
aren't any conflicts. In current state the confusion is not so
obviously due to the development method of enlightenment project, but
we are lacking of documentations to clarify the whole thing in deed.
