Would it be possible if the review and commit work be done on a regular basis? Since GNOME is released every several months, it would be better to review the content before a new version is released, and also leave enough time for the translator to correct the error (if any). That won't add too much burden to reviewers and committers, but also could keep the translation progress in its way. It's a pity that some special email need to be sent to the coordinator to remind the lack of reviewing work.

Well, by saying releasing I am mainly talking about some 'master' translations still being stuck at some preserved state claimed at the time when their masters were still some to-release GNOME 3.14 or 3.16 versions.
P.S. I believe most of my current translation power goes to master, with only some minimal msgmerge backporting to the current 3-18 branch, basically for the AOSC distros ruining Gnome 3.18.

I don't really think releasing those ones are really meaningful because we (zh_CN team) only accept updates to released branches if the master branch is updated at the same time. Updates sent to old branches without updating master branch are ignored without notice because of the limitations of manpower.Regards,AronHi Aron again,
Back to the locking status, any hope on releasing those master translations preserved for already string-freeze-branched old versions? As mentioned before, it's a bad idea to keep reserving 3.14, 3.16 or even 3.18 translations since 3.20 is now master.

Also I would kindly ask you to be a little bit not that aggressive on pushing things. It's admirable when you are able to invest a lot of time to contribute, but we are all volunteers and people might be busy working on real life stuff. Please be a bit patient and we should be able to work those things out.
Thanks,
Aron
