--- Comment #6 from Caolán McNamara <[email protected]> ---
FWIW we adopted the GNOME hig for spacing and so forth. And the GNOME HIG
(https://developer.gnome.org/hig-book/3.7/design-text-labels.html.en) has "If
the label precedes the control it is labelling, end the label with a colon. For
example, Email:"

That said there are just a gadzillion of these labels. Very old LibreOffice
pre-ui dialogs tend to have colons, middle-age pre-ui ones tend not and most
new post-ui dialogs just have the same text in them as the old ones and so tend
not to have them.

I guess colons are technically the most correct variant, but the minority one.

Maybe the best solution is to 
a) remove : from high profile labels for 4.3.0
b) then mass add colons at the end of all labels that have a mnemonic_widget
property set and modify ./bin/lint-ui.py to insiste on a colon at the end of
the string if there is a mnemonic_widget set and vice-versa insist on a
mnemonic_widget if the label string ends in :
