Nice, I've just added you as a maintainer (feel free to remove me from the
maintainer list now as I won't probably need push POT access now).
This is done here: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/subsurface/edit/
Ask if there are settings that you don't understand.

Exact. This target is not called while building subsurface.
The update-po-files target needs the maintainer access as it is pushing
the newly created POT at Transifex ("tx push -s").

We could spread that in three targets,
"make pot", then "make pushPOT", and finally "make pullPOS". Doing so
would be needed if:
- people would like to build the POT by themself (is there a need?)
- people would like to pull latest translations IF they are registered at
  transifex.com.

Tell me, I can correct the patches accordingly.

In order to build subsurface, one would need to have a transifex.com
account if he wants to pull latest translations, or he will just stick
with those on the repo.
