Then, isn't this a good reason to be more careful on the po headers including the 'Last-Translator' field and avoid automatic header updates (except 'PO-Revision-Date')? I often see a lot of crap in po headers and it seems no one is uncomfortable with this situation. BTW, There is another important field which should be taken into account for the update notifications: 'Language-Team'; of course, it all depends on a neatly maintained po header ;-) -- roktas
