As everyone is saying its own solution/proposal...

Why not make damned-lies send a mail to a certain mailing list (probably
gnome-i18n is not the best, to not clutter it) when a string is added to a
module? Just like we have for string freeze but the whole time.

This way will be easier to report early on the cycle problems with strings. The
sooner we are able to say that a string is confusing, the easier it will be for
the developer that added the string to add some context, explanation, etc.

And if we keep that on a regular basis it will be the best way to make
developers be aware of it.

I just see a problem in this model. Traffic will be really in high, and people
watching this list will lost interest soon, and it won't be useful.

For example, there is a commit-list which, if I'm not wrong, receives an email
with each commit done in git. Is somebody tracking down that list step by step
or its just used as a history?

Maybe just defining some guidelines would be enough to "teach" developers how
to deal with strings.
