So a quick update on this: it seems that indeed step 7 can be done, but
just partly; the import fails because the upload does not have the
Launchpad header with the date. This is something that can be fixed in
PO files, but not in XPI files. So I've gone ahead and I did a
maintainer upload of all pending XPIs to avoid this check.

I or some community members fixed the errors in the problematic XPIs and
now all languages have been imported, except from Tamil from Sri Lanka,
which is still giving some errors. I'll get it imported in the next few
days.

As per the other languages which did not have an upstream XPI, please
let me know if you want me to import them. I've already done Galician
(please check if the translation is ok in Launchpad and do let me know).

I seem to remember there were Asturian and Malayalam translations as
well, which are committed in the VCS upstream but do not have Mozilla
language packs yet. If you want me to import them, please let me know
and we'll try to figure out how we do it.

Regards,
David.
