To be fair, François' patches aren't occurring that often, just small
bursts every couple of months, mostly when "trivial" typographic
errors are caught, generally due to changes in the original English
versions (mgsids), which implies changes to all translations anyway.

If you want to avoid/limit conflicts, you might want to send smaller
patches instead of a big one.
This has the advantage of making the progress made visible to other
(potential) translators, limiting the risk of edition
conflict/duplicate work
