It might be a good move in the longer term, but if the po-helper.sh
is working well enough to fill the need of i18n/l10n team right now,
I think documenting the status quo would be a good way to help the
contributors immediately.

And when we reimplement it (if that is desirable---I have no opinion
myself), we certainly would want to update this part of the doc to
use the name of the rewritten tool.

In any case, I expect that you to be the main reviewer on this topic
and you will feed me the final commits, just like any other change
in the po/* area via a pull request.  In other words, I may have
input to the discussion on list, but I won't be applying the result
myself---I'll be pulling from git://github.com/git-l10n/git-po.git
repository instead.

Thanks.
