The "urge" to deliver 100% is no burden for me ;)
But I agree with you. Some teams like to skip the schema strings for now anyway. That's why the handful of GSettings based module maintainers could think about to split the po files as GTK already does for a long time. In GTK, there are the folders "po" and "po-properties". The second one is for property nicks which likely appear in the terminal only. We could do it similarly. We create a folder "po-gsettings" and fill the file POTFILES.in with the names of the gsettings-related files. Just introduce it to the autotools stack, and we can go ahead. One hand, we have satisfied translators, other hand, the other translators which actually want to translate it may skip it until dconf-editor really works. But this procedure works only if we have the gsettings keys always in separate source files, apart from other code.
