Many thanks for doing so! :-)

I'd definitely vote for 3, but, wait!, even better, I would add a new
option named --copyright-notices (or maybe there's a better name, I
don't know...), where all the copyright notices may be specified with
their own line breaks, as in:
$ xgettext --copyright-notices="Copyright (C) 2001-2012 Python Software
Foundation.
Copyright (C) 2000 BeOpen.com.
Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Corporation for National Research Initiatives.
Copyright (C) 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum." \
--package-name=myapplication --package-version=0.1 \
--language=python myapplication.py -o myapplication2.pot
This would cause myapplication2.pot to include:
# Copyright (C) 2001-2012 Python Software Foundation.
# Copyright (C) 2000 BeOpen.com.
# Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Corporation for National Research Initiatives.
# Copyright (C) 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum.
in stead of:
# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
In other words, the --copyright-notice option would allow the user to
specify the copyright notices literally; xgettext would just prepend
each copyright notice line with the "# " comment symbol.
Does it sound like a good suggestion?
