I am maintaining a2ps, and have recently been making frequent alpha releases as I attempt to stabilise the result of a massive updating effort after a long period of quiescence.

The most recent release involves no changes to the gettext strings.

Using the standard gnulib release procedure for GNU projects, coordinator@translationproject.org is automatically emailed for each release, but apparently this is not desired. I received this from Benno Schulenberg <coordinator@translationproject.org>:

My scripts find zero changes in the msgids.

When there are no changes in the POT file, there is no need
to announce the (pre)release to me -- it just creates extra,
unneeded work for me.

Of course, I can try to catch this manually, but I presume other projects are also sending unwanted email like this (unless I'm doing something wrong?); can something be done in gnulib?
