Well, pulling all of the PO files is easily done from the command line
with wget on the download "Zip of Directory"  link on the Translate
tab.

That will get you the current PO files hosted in Pootle.

I personally find the deeply nested folder structure of the LO UI on
Pootle a bit challenging, although I understand why it is set up that
way.  I developed a little script (collapse36.sh)  to help me get all
of the PO files into a single folder (only one layer deep).  Please
note that to accomplish this is it necessary to rename files that
share a name but are differentiated by their location in the folder
hierarchy.

The renaming is easy enough to decipher and reverse by just looking at
the lines of the shell script.  Please note that the script is
intentionally destructive of the original folders in order to monitor
completeness, so only do it with a copy of your downloaded and
unzipped file in a directory of it's own.

Upload is another question entirely.  Speaking only for myself (as
Translation Team Coordinator of another project, not LO).  Direct
commit to the git repository /po directories bypassing Pootle is a
simply bad idea.  The Pootle workflow serves multiple important
purposes all of which are defeated by direct git commits of PO files.

I cannot think of an easy way to do mass uploads via the Pootle web
UI.  Unless you are going to be given an elevated level of privs on
the Pootle server itself (and SHH access to log in), this may remain a
repeated manual process to get the PO files into Pootle (where they
belong).  Again, speaking only for Sugar Labs (and not LO)  I can tell
you that very few people will ever get a privileged login to our
Pootle server, this is not something you just hand out for convenience
sake.

Pootle is an important tool for collaboration and quality control.
Trying to cut it out of the loop is not recommended.

Just my 2 cents.;
