Research direction
Start by tracing the existing Gettext Actions workflow and how POTFILES is consumed. Define how added and removed files are detected and how translatable calls such as _(), ngettext(), and dgettext() are recognized; done means POTFILES is synchronized automatically without causing Gettext Actions to fail.

Feature
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Editing POTFILES is not automated at the moment, so if we forget to update POTFILES when adding/removing files that include translatable strings, Gettext Actions will fail.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be useful if the Gettext Actions can detect added/removed files from a project, check if they include translatable strings (_(), ngettext (), dgettext (), etc.), and if so remove/add the path to them from POTFILES automatically.
