Description
Currently, extract.py only cleans up the headers and metadata for pofiles that belong to segments (or third-party apps).
So unless you define segments in your config.yaml, you don't get any of those standardization benefits for default pofiles like django-partial.po.
i18n_tool should clean all pofiles it creates.

Research direction
Start in extract.py and compare how header and metadata cleanup is applied to segmented or third-party pofiles versus default files such as django-partial.po. Verify the behavior with a configuration that has no segments, and consider the work complete when every pofile created by i18n_tool receives the standard cleanup.
