Yes, I've been asking about the changes needed to Transifex to support
Publican.  The Transifex team maintains that they are fairly minor but
they are looking for help to make those changes because they have a
number of other priorities to handle on their roadmap.  Some of the
Red Hat I18n folks who are being asked to devote time to making the
changes say that there's a more substantial chunk of work needed.

Not being a coder I have no way to tell what's correct, but Dimitris
Glezos pointed me directly at this code, that I think allows multi-POT
group stats calculation.  If I understand Dimitris correctly, the
changes required to the back end and UI to do delivery and submission
of multi-POT modules would be in a similar vein.
