Comment (by swissspidy):

 In the `wp i18n make-pot` command to create POT files for WordPress
 plugins and themes, but also WordPress core, I added a check to find
 strings with multiple different translator comments. I also added some
 other checks that I copied from WPCS (kudos!).

 This is usually an indicator that these should be multiple strings with
 different contexts or that the translator comments should be unified.
 Otherwise translators will see multiple comments in GlotPress when trying
 to translate a string.

 For example, the string `More information about %s` exists three times in
 WordPress core. Once, the translator comment is `%s: plugin name and
 version`, the second time it's `%s: Importer name` and in the third
 instance there's no comment at all.

 Here are the current warnings for WordPress 4.9.8:
