All historical developers and contributors have never took trouble to 
ask permission to fix typos or spelling in translations. If you skim 
through doc translations history, you'll see a bunch of commits from 
Werner, me or Francisco that apply to all languages.

Unless you feel particular interest on this, you'd probably better spend

The desired outcome is, lilypond.pot should be updated in Git but the 
not the .po files.

Thanks for all your comments, I'll edit the CG (including merging
