It largely depends on how much of the overall translation work the 
pending imports will cover.  The lower the ratio, the more sense it 
makes to prioritize the templates.  Can you give me a very rough 
impression of what that ratio is likely to be for the pending ubuntu-docs?

(There are other prioritization criteria of course.  We generally don't 
do that because any algorithm is likely to have weaknesses, possibly 
even starvation risk or other pathological cases.  But we can "cheat" a 
little by asking admins to modify certain upload dates.)
