I think moving all teams to summit is a nice idea. It's easier for teams 
to deal with *one* branch than with several different ones (l10n-kf5, 
l10n-kf5-plasma-lts, l10n-kde4), all containing different versions of 
basically the same translation files.

Speaking as the coordinator for three teams that use the summit 
workflow, one thing I like is getting to decide *when* to merge the 
translations files with the templates. Since I do the merge when noone 
is doing any translations, this obviates the need to be able to handle 
merge conflicts (which are much harder to handle with Git than with SVN, 
BTW).

The teams are also using some custom merge settings 
(https://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-support/scripts/summit_helpers_NO.py?view=log). 
It would be a shame if such team-specific customisations are lost.
