I don't see your point.

I agree that it's not really easy for translators getting started with 
the translation, keeping the pot-file up to date and similar. But I 
doubt that something exclusively for vlc would be any better than a 
simple link to (for example) a transifex project.

The benefit in using it (IMHO) is less technical hassle for translators 
and the possibility to attract new (co-)translators if wanted.

AFAIK it is impossible to replace the git merging by transifex or pootle 
(did not really check pootle so far). Hence, you can't stop using it. 
The transifex project should be seen as an additional service. Use it if 
you like, keep your actual workflow if you don't.

For example the headers (former translators) are causing troubles: They 
are often removed by transifex.
