Hidetoshi added the message to the gtk+ source.

The msgid and msgstr were then added to the ta.po file on the status
pages when the status pages were regenerated. The status pages
automatically calls intltool-update, which in its turn calls msgmerge,
on all the po files so that new and altered messages get shown in the po
files on the status pages.

The msgstr was fuzzy marked since there already was a message with a
similar msgid in the po file. msgmerge then tries to save the translator
some work by adding that message's msgstr to this new one, but also
marks it fuzzy to show the translator that the msgstr needs some manual
adjusting to match the msgid.

You can apply for one by following the instructions on
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/policies/accounts/.

There already is such a list,
http://lists.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-commits-list/. If you
subscribe to that one you get messages for all cvs commits in
cvs.gnome.org though, but you can probably manually filter the messages
so that you get only messages for ta.po files.
