They're somewhere hidden in the KStuff SVN misc scripts directory:
	http://svn.kstuff.org/browser/trunk/scripts/ghns
At the time of creation they were requested specifically for KHangMan 
translation by annma, but never used in production mode IIRC.
They used to work with the old i18n directory structure of KDE SVN. If there 
were any updates due to l10n or otherwise, the paths would have to be adapted.

The complete syntax of meta files is described here:
	http://ghns.freedesktop.org/spec/ghns-spec.html

Most of the GHNS repositories on newstuff.kde.org are maintained through SVN 
by the respective application or artwork maintainer. Each maintainer decides 
which SVN to use. At the moment, all maintainers use the SVN repository on 
newstuff.kde.org itself because it was agreed that using svn.kde.org would not 
be good for large volumes of data.
Synchronising between these two SVNs would be possible with a bit of scripting 
I guess.

To get all the files including the meta files, run:
	svn co svn://newstuff.kde.org/kdedata/trunk kdedata-trunk
For write access you can get an account from me.
