Actually, and still being pragmatic, since all translation strings have their reference to the actual code, you can go there and add this context/translator comment by yourself, generate a patch and send it to developers to review it and ensure that it doesn't break anything (thus a GNOME goal with the exact syntax and guidelines could streamline the process a lot).
