I was looking yesterday but I couldn't find a common. I think your
Q_() is fine.

I see GNU Make uses S_() internally, netcat uses PL_(). There seems to
be no common convention for it like for gettext().

Personally I'd have chosen n_(), although confusing with our existing
N_() we could add dn_(), dcn_() etc for dngettext() and dcngettext()
later.

But I don't think it matters. Let's use your patch as-is.
