> I'm working on a PR to correct the files, improve the fetching script,

Per [https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/discourage-releasers-from-editing-
po-files-by-hand/44441 forum post], the procedure for pulling & pushing
files from/to Transifex has been corrupting both line numbers and plural
forms, leading to, in some cases, broken *.po files that do not compile to
*.mo, or *.po files that hide information (e.g. plural forms that might
appear in production).
I'm working on a PR to correct the documentation. (EDIT: I think it makes
more sense to wait to correct the files until our next regularly scheduled
time to fetch, for the 6.1 prereleases).
