I am reviving this old thread because it looks like Arnaud never
stopped making his changes. He has created separate "maintainer-only"
branches. He makes his release tags and tarball releases from those
branches. This has continued with the dconf-editor 3.32.0 release from
a few days ago.

This behavior is very disruptive to the translator workflow.
Translators have a very reasonable expectation that their translations
(as seen in the master and stable git branches and at l10n.gnome.org)
will make it to distros and users without being "fixed" in a hidden
way first.
