I don't know where it's documented. I'm not an Intltool developer myself.

The basic idea is that there can be files with unknown (to Intltool) file
name prefixes, and you have to provide a file type for these in
POTFILES.in (since C files are parsed differently than XML files, for
example). So you include [type] tags in POTFILES.in, e.g.

[type: gettext/xml] src/parts/screwdriver.part

Isn't the ChangeLog entry ('Strip Intltool tags from POTFILES') enough?
