I was sort of hoping Dscho would be able to answer that.  ;-)

I can play patch-monkey and apply things people send to the mailing
list.  I'm also willing to pull from a tree if the commit history
is clean and mergable.  Since each language more or less stands
on its own in its own .po file translators may find it easier to
email patches.  I dunno, I'm not a translator.

Yes. Dscho was looking at creating a custom diff filter for git that would better handle showing diffs here. I was sort of waiting for progress from that (if any) before doing the pot update. I also have a lot of UI work that I wanted to do in the 0.9.x series and those are likely to create/change the sets of messages we need to translate.
