I'm here the guilty one, and I can confirm that my common sense was
overriding commit policy. Sorry.

And what I did was for *.po apply
s/translator-credits/translator_credits/ to decrease workload of most
translators as it was only string change needing attention for many
translators.

Of course now I see that I wasn't careful enough as you see from that
bug.  But also with this kind of commit policy helping other
translators is not just possible (asking permission for such trivial
changes is more work than just leaving it up to each translator).  And
yes, I can and will work according to commit policy here on even while
working with other kind of commit policy in some other repositories.
