GNOME 2.30 was already released two months ago. According to
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/desktop/2.30/2.30.0/sources/ Ekiga 3.2.6
was used. The GNOME schedule can be found at
http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointThirtyone/ .

Exactly.

You did not branch Ekiga yet after GNOME 2.30 was released. And all the
branches of those apps used for GNOME 2.30 are string frozen for all
times and one day.
So branch Ekiga for gnome-2-30, gnome-2-30 will be used for more stable
releases of Ekiga in GNOME 2.30, and feel free to changes any strings in
git master which will be branched to gnome-3-0 in a few months. Or so.

HTH,
