Hi Arnaud,

I see:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/dconf-editor/commits/maintainer-only-3-32/po

which seems pretty excessive. You probably wouldn't be very happy if 
translators starting introducing unexpected changes outside of po/, 
right? In the same way, the translators would prefer you to not make 
changes under po/.

Why is this necessary? They can't maintain their translations if you 
have your own separate translations that never make it into 
l10n.gnome.org.
