Ok, which means we need to set a threshold for what is "significant
contribution".  If that's 10 strings, 5% or whatever, it doesn't
really matter, but I think we can easily solve this problem.

Well, not that easily, since what can happen is that someone can
provide suggestions for all the strings, and someone else might just
perform a terminology change on all of them, thus getting the full
credit, and the other gal no credit at all.

Which is why I still think we should list all contributors (and this
would only show in Ubuntu language packs and exported PO files, since
the translations are not going upstream directly).

What does everybody else think?

Cheers,
Danilo
