They'll be replaced as people find the time to write up text for the item in question (note that in many cases the original text cannot be used. For instance, if it's not in the srd (or for third party publishers if it's not declared Open Content) we can't use it, and must therefore paraphrase the text). I.e. no guarantees on when, but the commonly used stuff will probably be done within a reasonably low number of versions.
You certainly can fill them in yourself, but they will be overwritten by the next update. The easiest way to get around that is of course to get your (paraphrased) text included in the Community Pack. Probably easiest to do by creating an issue here:
https://github.com/Sklore/HL_DD_5e_Colab/issues
and add a file with your suggested replacements for Placeholder. Kind of like Gwaithador did here:
https://github.com/Sklore/HL_DD_5e_Colab/issues/285
(Of course, if you happen to be comfortable with github, sending pull requests and/or patches to the .user files works too.)
