This makes sense, but it will complicate things a bit. Pootle has both a
project centered view (which projects are there, independently of the
language) and a language centered view (which projects are there for
this language). It will probably be necessary to code separately for
directories that include the files for all languages, using different names.
It would be much easier to turn the directory of files into a directory
of directories, each with only two files (POT and PO), so that all files
have the same name. This would imply needing logic to convert the
original one-directory structure into a tree, a viceversa, for
committing back to the project.
Instead of
projectA
|
|-- pa_km.po
|-- pa_km.pot
|-- pa_vi.po
|-- pa_vi.pot
.
.
we would have, at the same level in the tree:
projectA
|
|-- km
| |-- pa.po
| |-- pa.pot
|-- vi
| |-- pa.po
| |-- pa.pot
|
We could study which one of the two solutions is cleaner and requires
less work (if the second solution is acceptable to you).

So far the statistics only consider the files that are in a folder (or
subfolders), but has no intelligence about a project. This change would
require having a reference set of POT files for each type of project. It
will require more computing power for the calculation of the stats, but
at the same time is an added security measure to ensure that no files
are missing.
Working with uncomplete directories is also different from what we have
been doing so far, but it is much more efficient, otherwise we can spend
our time updating every few days a large amount of PO files that will
never be touched. To have these incremental type of work, we should also
have an easy way of adding files to a directory, while at the same time
checking against the template (set of POT files) that this file is
permitted in this directory. A way to do it would be that files that are
going to be added to a directory have to be selected from the available
list (templates).
