I agree with the general idea of unified format for copyright
informations, but I don't think using PO header fields as below will
cover all situations.

What about the translations whose copyright is transfered to FSF (which
is acutally quite common, either due to explicit request by FSF, such as
all the TP translations, or due to careless translators just using the
default header generated by gettext) or (in Debian's case) SPI?
What about some translators that don't want to hold copyright for
his/her translation, but the team still want to credit his/her work by
listing him/her as a translator?
