If you are using a `Makevars' file, please specify
the MSGID_BUGS_ADDRESS variable there; otherwise please
specify an --msgid-bugs-address command line option.
Here's the part of Makevars where that's defined:
# This is the email address or URL to which the translators shall report
# bugs in the untranslated strings:
# - Strings which are not entire sentences, see the maintainer guidelines

# understood.
# - Strings which make invalid assumptions about notation of date, time or

# - Pluralisation problems.
# - Incorrect English spelling.
# - Incorrect formatting.
# It can be your email address, or a mailing list address where translators

MSGID_BUGS_ADDRESS =
http://translate.fedoraproject.org/
I figure it's better to point people at the Fedora Translation pages
than at libvirt's mailing list.
I had to propagate this into libvirt.pot as well to avoid
a "make distcheck" failure when update-po would try to move
the just-changed libvirt.po onto a read-only libvirt.pot file
because of the differing Report-Msgid-Bugs-To line.
ACK, seems sensible since all our translations come via fedora currently.
