How about this? We can make a website (host on github) to show i18n
changes. Homepage is just a markdown page, list no-merge commits
which introduced i18n changes. So we don't have to change the workflow.
1. A local git clone, keep update with upstream.
2. Give a starting point, and generate a no-merge commit list.
3. Scan through local git clone and generate a pot file for each
commit and its parent commit, and save them in cache (by hard
link to save disk space).
4. Generate diffs for each commit.
5. Generate the MarkDown web page through a template.
6. Commit the changes of the markdown page, and push to github.
