I had a look at his version. Now, I have some questions and suggestions:

/1/ If name_miss is Mamá and name_mrs is Mamá name_ms could also be Mamá
(instead empty).

/2/ For name_gen, you write Mbote. Wiktionary use the following spelling:
Mbɔ́tɛ (https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/mb%C9%94%CC%81t%C9%9B)

/3/ Question about (name_fmt): %m is described as Additional given names.
Usually, this is a second firstname. In the Congo, this could be the Postnom.
Or is the Postnom integrated in %F Family names?

/4/ (thousands_sep): is ther really nothing? Shouldn't be a space?

/5a/ Month (mon): They are different as f.ex. in wikipedia (lines 1/2; line 3
from ln_CD local):
yanwáli febwáli mársi   apríli  máyí    yúni    yúli    augústo sɛtɛ́mbɛ       
ɔkɔtɔ́bɛ        novɛ́mbɛ                dɛsɛ́mbɛ
*yambo  *míbalé *mísáto *mínei  *mítáno *motóbá *nsambo *mwambe *libwá  *zómi  
*zómi na mɔ̌kɔ́ *zómi na míbalé (*=Sánzá ya...)
*moko   *mibale *mísáto *minei  *ítán¡  *motóba *sambo  *mwambe *libwá  *zómi  
*zómi na moko   *zómi
Different spelling in jan, feb, apr, mai, jul, nov, dec (probabely errors in
ma, dec).

/5b/ The similare case with (day) (line 1 from wikipedia, line 3 from ln_CD
local):
lomíngo mosálá mɔ̌kɔ́   mokɔlɔ mwa misálá míbalé         mokɔlɔ mwa misálá
mísáto       mokɔlɔ mwa misálá mínei mokɔlɔ mwa misálá mítáno         mokɔlɔ
mwa mpɔ́sɔ
lomíngo lendí           mokolo mwa míbalé        mokolo mwa mísáto             
mokolo mwa mínei        mokolo mwa mítáno        mokolo mwa mposo
Different spelling at mokɔlɔ/mokolo; Monday (if lendí [lɛndí?] as borrowing
from french is used, why not f.ex. yanwáli, febwáli, mársi, etc. for the
months?) and Saturday mpɔ́sɔ/mposo.

/5c/ I checked some of this words in the new dictionary Dico+ (by Prof. Musanji
Ngalasso-Mwatha, Prof. Crispin Maalu-Bungi (CELTA), Donzo Bunza, Matumele
Maliya, Ayibite Pela Asey, Epanga Pombo, Eyupar Epietung, Isabelle Nsenga).
They use the same spelling as wiktionary/wikipedia. And for the months, they
use the names as yanwáli, febwáli, mársi, etc.  Sánzá ya míbalé, etc. is used
to explain and in some cases/months only als variant.

/6/ (abday) is abvrated as m2, m3, ..., but abmon not s2, s3, but sánzá2.,
sánzá3. (including full stop). This seams not consistently.

Best regards
