Thanks for raising this.

Although I don't have enough time to dig into problems as I said
before in the list,
I would like to comment some.

For zanata.xml srcdir, I believe it was a mistake to use <modulename>/locale
instead of a top directory of each repository.
My vote is to change "srcdir" to ".". It allows us to handle POT file
in any place.

Hopefully Zanata allows us to rename the path of resources
so that we don't lose our history when renaming resources.
