No, I am not. I am saying that if his list's language is one whose new
template is untranslated in the new release, that page is broken for his
list.

You are ignoring the majority of sites/admins/list owners who do not
customize their Mailman web UI.

The various strings that are used to build the page dynamically are
translated in that language's message catalog. I suppose I could figure
out how to pull them together to make a translated template, but it's
way more work than I am willing to do, and I'm sure the result would be
less than desirable.

As has been pointed out, this is an open source project. Please feel
free to submit your implementation for consideration in a future Mailman
2.1 release. As far as Mailman 3/Postorius is concerned, I think this
issue is already being addressed.
