Dave is right -- the 'official' po files are in our tree.

If we have a new release coming up, I copy the updated .pot and .po files 
from cvs.gnucash.org to cvs.gnome.org, then I send a message to the 
gnome-i18n list hoping that somebody from there might 
spellcheck/proofread/update those existing translations. Usually simply 
nothing happens and the official po files are always the ones on our server. 

If there were some gnome-i18n translators who actually updated the po files 
on gnome.org, then I would immediately have copied that work over to our 
server. I.e. I watching that closely enough so that the cvs.gnucash.org po 
files are always the most up to date ones.
