Hi Florian,
The header has:
# debsecan Brazilian Portuguese translation
# Copyright (c) 2006-2007 debsecan's PACKAGE COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the debsecan package.
# Herbert Parentes Fortes Neto (hpfn) <listasdebian@terra.com.br>, 2006.
# Eder L. Marques <frolic@debian-ce.org>, 2007.
The copyright is attributed to the package copyright holder.
Usually maintainers generate the POT file without any information,
and debsecan is not different:
# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
# FIRST AUTHOR <EMAIL@ADDRESS>, YEAR.
So, we follow Debian i18n recommendation, keeping the Copyright
to the Package Maintainer (usually po-debconf were created by them) and
just list the translators as a historical reference (in some countries
translations are also copyrighted).
So, could you please be much clearer about what would you like
to see written on the translated file? Because if you are unsure about
who should be listed there, I'm unsure about who we will ask this
question.

So is Debian i18n.
