Why does it need to be updated?  gettext 0.20.2 was released just a
month ago[0], and Django runs on a wide range of distributions that
surely has older versions.

Updating gettext is also a full-rebuild change which means this will
have to wait for the next "core-updates" branch.

Note that if you really need the newer gettext, you can give Django a
special variant like so without having to wait for core-updates:

(define-public gettext-0.20.2
  (package
    (inherit gettext)
    (version "0.20.2")
    (source (origin ...))))

I just saw that lint said it was out of date.  I'm doing this to track down
a dep tree to order my work in packaging and to become more familiar with
packaging.
