Git GUI is a stand-alone project which is periodically merged to Git project by a subtree merge. According to the latest SubmittingPatches[1] documentation, git-gui is managed by Pratyush Yadav in a separate project[2].

As a separate project, the git-l10n project will merge l10n contributions into itself and then merge them to Git as a whole through a subtree merge. As what README.md[3] of git-gui says, contributing to git-gui should using mailing list. This means l10n contributors for git-guil, have to use git-format-patch and git send-email commands to send patches to the mailing list, which is inconvenience for git-gui l10n contributors. I suppose using a dedicate git-guil l10n coordinator repository or simply using pull requests of "prati0100/git-gui" as the l10n contribution workflow, @Yadav.
