I think it can be organized this way:

(0) when a new (or corrected) translation is committed to www, www
translators send updates to TP, and they merge it to their PO files;

(1) when a new translation is submitted to TP, the translators send
a copy to the respective www.gnu.org translation team (or
address@hidden if that team doesn't maintain blurb
translation for some reason); of course, TP translators should know
what strings are blurbs.

However, there is a technical problem: www translations are in HTML,
while guix uses plain text. it's easy to transform plain text to HTML;
the reverse conversion seems missing.
