I suggested a way to do that.  I don't think it's putting an undue
burden on us, but if someone comes with a better idea, I will gladly
vote in favor.  Just let's not assume the problem does not exist.

I don't have any statistics handy; the general request from
translators is to give as much context as possible, as close to full
phrases or sentences as possible.  I find myself in the need to read
the sources while translating much more than I would like to, so I
guess the maintainers don't do a very good job at that.  I'd like GDB
to be better.

If we want more opinions and suggestions, we could take this to the TP
mailing list.
