Eye of GNOME's upstream project is not autogenerating translation templates

The Eye of GNOME (eog) project has been set up for upstream imports sharing and its import branch has been set up recently:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/eog/+sharing-details

However, the sharing page states that no templates have been found to import in the upstream project. This seems to be confirmed by the imports queue status, which contains all the translations, but no template:

https://translations.launchpad.net/eog/head/+imports?field.filter_status=all&field.filter_extension=all

Eog is a GNOME project, based on intltool and autotools, which should be supported by the automatic template generation feature, so I would have expected the template to be automatically created.

Could anyone please look into this?

Thanks!
