There were persistent problems with split strings, lack of placeholders, use of multiple backslashes for interface spacing, line-breaks and something peculiar I couldn't work out, inconsistent capitalization, a severe lack of initial capital letters and final punctuation, missing articles, and lack of context, nevermind a lot of typos and grammatic errors.

I fixed the commit errors. As for notifications, there's a sms channel
which I use (it sends a text message to my phone whenever the POT gets
updated) - but I think it only works for Indian mobile numbers :-(.
