I would suggest sending a tar archive with the website directory of
guix-artwork to the TP once more (ideally along with a current tarball
of Guix proper).  Also I think even if once we use different
technology like Weblate instead of the TP, the TP should remain the
go-to place for our translators, because it is where many other
projects’ translators gather.
