Damned Lies shows active member as inactive in translation team page

[Nilamdyuti Goswami <ngoswami redhat com>]

Hi,

I Nilamdyuti Goswami (user name: ngoswami) started doing Assamese 
translation for Gnome UI from Gnome-3-0 and since Gnome-3-2 I have 
always maintained the UI status at 80% or more to make sure it gets 
released in Assamese. If the git logs are checked, it will be found that 
I am the only active member in the Assamese team who has been sincerely 
doing UI translations for the past two years. After Gnome-3-8 was 
released with 86% UI translation status for Assamese, I didn't 
immediately start working on Gnome-3-10 as it's status was also more 
than 80% (something like 85% if I correctly remember). I just kept the 
master branches updated from time to time and later on I kept it on hold 
for some time. Now, since Gnome-3-10 release date is approaching, I 
thought of updating the important packages. Although even if I don't do 
so, it will still get released in Assamese as the status was 80% when I 
started updating and presently it is 81%. Now, my question is why does 
Damned Lies shows an active member as inactive considering a very short 
inactivity time? What will a new translator who is keen on joining the 
Assamese translation team think when he visits the team page? Will not 
he think that there hasn't been any activity in the Assamese translation 
for Gnome since time immemorial? :-) Suddenly his love for his mother 
tongue will come into life and he will think about reviving a already 
active team (I don't know about others, at least I am doing my part, 
this is open source, we cannot force someone to work! :-) ) If some old 
mail threads are checked it will be found that a similar incident 
happened to the Marathi translation team. The team coordinator for 
Marathi had to list down the package names to which he had recently made 
commits and provide some other links to prove the new guy that he his 
active and that the new guy was misleaded. A bug was also filed in this 
context for Kannada translation team: 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701190

So, what I feel is that Damned Lies should not show an active member as 
inactive so quickly. Moreover, when clicked on the member's name in the 
translation team page, the member's contributions should also be shown 
in whatever convenient manner possible instead of just showing the "Team 
Membership". I am not saying that it should show the member's entire git 
log! :-)   but at least it can show the releases to which the member has 
contributed. This will avoid a newbie from getting misleaded and get in 
touch with the right person to start contributing.

Regards,
Nilamdyuti Goswami
