qmake -project
edit the file to add in the translation filename wherever it may be,
then
lupdate Scribus.pro

You can of course copy the file to another place if you wish to. Editing
the one in the CVS dir you have shouldnt be a problem.

This is under way as I type by Alex O. , I expect I will have this
online tomorrow.

I understand your concern here, although I raise a couple of points.

You really don't need to update the strings daily, or for the most part,
even weekly. Of course doing it more regularly reduces the load of work.
Even if you only translate and test and then submit weekly, would be
more than enough for us.

I would suggest that there are many much less experienced translators
that want Scribus in their language and for many translators we often
have to answer on IRC the question of "Where does this string appear in
the GUI?" or "What does this word mean in this context?". Translations
vary based on context and various people have chosen different words
based on context and you cant see that from within a translation
program, but only within a running application. This is the reason why
people need to be running the CVS or they will be creating .qm files for
areas of the GUI they have never even seen if they are running a release
from over a month ago.

All the best, 

Craig
