Sure I'd want such a page. Moreover, it looks to me as a great organising
chart for translators' teams. I dream of, say,

1- Create a Team's page for translators to XX-lang-namespace. Insert a table
into page, put team members at top row. Give the team editing rights.
2- Use a spider script like age_test or possibly exploit moinmoin's own
LocalSiteMap output of wiki root. Do same thing for /XX-lang-namespace. Diff
for missing files and calculate days-older.
3- Insert report into table, widows on own row to flag translation is
missing.
4- Rest of table cells will work as checkboxes, flag as Assigned, Done, etc.
Subscript Assignee to changes.
5- Wisely manage somehow not to lose assignments when table is refreshed

This is the all-moin-integrated version of things, of course. I have been
diving into moin docs but haven't found evidence of such an add-on. Neither
I have found an external tool to do the same bookkeeping.

What do other teams do?
