Yes, translators would need some translation tool that flags outdated
translations and doesn't require pull requests to each and every
package.

For package maintainers who know some non-English language, it's much
more convenient to write a translation in the spec file than to first
update the package and then switch to some other tool to update the
translation. The current RPM tooling works well for them.

Years ago there were translations of RPM descriptions and summaries
that originated from somewhere other than spec files. I don't know what
tools were used to produce those, but they seemed to coexist peacefully
with translations from spec files. They don't seem to exist anymore. The
few translations I can find now all come from spec files.

The disappearance of those external translations indicates that the
Fedora Project no longer cares about translations of RPM descriptions
and summaries, which is sad, but in that case there certainly shouldn't
be a "SHOULD" in the Review Guidelines.
