I've updated l10n.gnome.org for both modules:
http://l10n.gnome.org/module/glib
http://l10n.gnome.org/module/gtk+

Do you know if the hook that send a mail to gnomeweb at gnome dot org at
each commit has been ported to git?

Regarding the ChangeLog policy, it's important for translators to have a
unified method throughout the GNOME modules. As it seems the majority of
modules won't keep a manual ChangeLog with git (like you're proposing
with glib and gtk+), I suggest to all translators to follow the
indication on the Walkthrough for translators compiled by Simos, that is
to use only the commit message.
