While this is a valid request, Launchpad should probably not be the first place to implement it. Right now most Free Software projects use glibc, which does not support IETF tags. Launchpad language codes are based on the glibc approach, with ISO 639 and ISO 3166 codes.
I'd recommend adding a bug task for glibc and contacting its developers about the feature request.
I'm also marking the bug in the translations portal as Invalid, as the portal is a Drupal site which works with the codes Drupal uses. In this case, if you want to track it there, I'r recommend opening a bug at Drupal.
