I'm also doing this but there are about 1400 packages and i don't want
to overload the servers.

This is valid only for templates included in ubuntu distribuion and not
templates from other projects (ex BillReminder)

We also have such a wiki page and a forum for discussion this issues.

But people who are not member of Ubuntu Romanian Team or are not very
actuive don't use wikis or forums.
Also while templates are updated from upstream some translations are
marked as "Need review". In this case is very hard to know what package
needs a review. 

I hope soon we will have bug #113392 in Launchpad Translations solved.
