Thanks for the follow up. I think the problem is that because my current translations are all GPL and FSF assigned, I can't upload them to LP and still be in compliance with LP's requirements.So if I wanted to use LP for Mailman translations, I'd have to start from scratch.
Not necessarily from scratch. The existing GPL'ed translations are effectively "published" ones. Which means they stay licensed as they are. If you re-import them as published uploads, further changes in Launchpad can be "overlaid" as BSD-licensed additions on top of those.
You'd have to mix licenses, with the additions covered by both GPL and BSD, but is that a problem?
