So there's that awesome manga...
AND IT HASN'T BEEN SCAN/TRANS-LATED! Zetsubou shita!
So my question is as follows - what can a normal Internet user, NOT KNOWING JAPANESE and SURE THEY CAN'T LEARN JAPANESE, do to read a manga like that? How can they suggest some scan/trans-lation group(s) to at least take a look at it and give it a shot? Is it possible at all?
In my case I'm talking about this thing here that happens to be a new work of artist known for some other awesome series. It seems there are more mangas of his that certainly should be translated. Especially this short one here.
Also, I'd be glad if you don't start with "learn some Japanese" answers. I'm certain I wouldn't manage to do this. Translate Jap-Eng is impossible for me, I'm not even English.
And I know it's impossible for this kind of question not have been raised already. Probably several times on this forum alone. But still - please answer. I'd be much obliged.
And if it isn't possible - I'll die. Just, you know, hope you won't kill me that easily.

GET ON YOUR KNEES AND BEG.
I'm just kidding.
But some scanlation sites do have the option where people can suggest a series that they want translated (though most sites ask that you have the raws for it), maybe you can find a really nice scanlation group who is willing to jam one of the series above into their busy schedule.
P.S. the reason why Lucky Star isn't being translated is probably because it's licensed. Most scan groups rather not touch licensed manga.

You can try some Scanlation groups that have similar taste to yours (but you should check if they are open to any suggestions first 🤣 ).
And if all else fails, some groups do have commission where you can order translation or scanlations (but mind you, they can be pricey!)
(And normally, something like a novel has a very little chance of getting picked up because it's so wordy and Light Novel groups are rare...)
