Hi, first my apologies, I've always pulled translator names from
po/Changelog ;-)

Thats really cool and I wish I knew about it before, hey I wonder if -
it would make any
difference to maintainers (I think it might for me), if this script
were available in the
gnome-common module sitting beside gnome-autogen.sh
(gnome-translator-credits.sh ?)

Frankly, I rebuild my gnome sandbox from scratch often enough, and reinstall my
OS probably once each gnome release cycle - I dont see how I could possibly
remember the location of that script.

Just a suggestion, I may be the only one .. and I'll be happy to just
copy the script
into my own module and be on my way ;-)

Cheers,
