As far as I know, there is no one working on this right now. From the
translations side, what we can do is to give advice on the solution:

All Ubuntu packages in main and restricted need to create a .pot file
(also called template) during the build process. That allows
translations to be imported into Launchpad and then to be shipped in
language packs.

The creation of the .pot file is done through a rule in the debian/rules
file, which is what rrdtool is missing. that means its translations
cannot be imported (although there aren't any yet) and it is not exposed
in Launchpad for translation. For more information on how a package
should generate .pot translation templates, you can see the following
document:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Internationalisation/Packaging#TranslationTemplates

Strangely enough, after testing a local build of the package following
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Internationalisation/RecipeVerifyingTranslationUploads,
I've noticed that rrdtool seems to generate the rrdtool.pot file inside
rrdtool_1.4.3-1ubuntu1_i386_translations.tar.gz, but it is somehow not
getting imported. I'll have to investigate why on Monday.

As per the comment on Adi not being subscribed to the bug: he actually
is, as he is a member of the Ubuntu Translations Coordinators team, the
bug supervisor for the ubuntu-translations project, so he is subscribed
to all ubuntu-translations mail
