Hi there :)
As a mad localizer, I have been working on a number of your files
recently, and have found that difficult because few, if any have the
Report-Msgid-Bugs-To header filled in.
This header contains the contact address for us to report any typos or
mistakes in the original strings, or to clarify meaning of strings with
the developer.
I have discussed this with the Translation Project at the University of
Montréal, and they would like to encourage your developers to use this
header when creating .pot/.po files. Once that variable is set, it
shouldn't be necessary to do it again: all .po files from that
developer should have the header filled in.
I checked on the TP mailing list, and they said:

Please encourage your developers to fill in this field, so we can do a
better job of localizing their files. :)
Thankyou for your time.
