I'm not really happy with it either.  It's dependent on me noticing a
mail coming in and dealing with it, and remembering to update the pot
file upstream.  I'd rather see translators have access to freedesktop
CVS, but until that starts happening in large numbers, we need a
mechanism.  Perhaps I should check the .pot file somewhere into GNOME
cvs so that people can translate it there and then move the po files
back.

Suggestions?
