Comments for translators will be extracted to pot file automatically,
when run xgettext with "--add-comments" option.
-c, --add-comments
place all comment blocks preceding keyword lines in output file
For example, the comments in the following code blocks will
be extracted.
/* TRANSLATORS: "will be extracted." */
strbuf_addf(&sb, Q_("%lu year", "%lu years", years), years);
strbuf_addf(&sb,
/* TRANSLATORS: "will be extracted." */
Q_("%lu year", "%lu years", years), years);
But if the comment is not right before the l10n markers, such
comments will not be extracted. E.g.
/* TRANSLATORS: "WARNING: will NOT be extracted." */
strbuf_addf(&sb,
Q_("%lu year", "%lu years", years), years);
/* TRANSLATORS: "WARNING: will NOT be extracted." */
strbuf_addf(&sb, Q_(
"%lu year", "%lu years", years), years);
I will scan all the codes and make a fix.

I could generate a new git.pot for "maint" branch, but fixes for codes
may only contribute to "master" branch.
