Re: Announce: Enabling site-wide "Contributor in comment" in Fedora Weblate

Libvirt is a good example of what upstream project should do: properly
identify contributors in git log:
https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt/commits/master/po

I wonder which part of the 594 contributors listed in github are
translators.

I assume if there is a credits somewhere in the software, it also lists
contributors.


To my knowledge, libvirt is an exception, and translator credits is
often missing, which may lead translators to feel like second-zone
contributors.


I do prefer to have a simple header to read a contributors, because:
* translators copy/share po files to for translation memories purposes
(which removes the git history)
* git knowledge should not be required to get it touch with other
translators


But this is a personal belief, and we should not impose our beliefs.

Having the "contributor in comment" plugin enabled by default on the
Fedora translation platform is fine to me, as long as we inform project
maintainers, and allow them to disable it if they have another clean way
to properly identify contributors.


The challenging question I see is: what do we do if there is no
translator credits either in git log or file header?
