Bug Description

In launchpad translation pages, when upstream translations are merged, upstream translators are indicated as translators, as well as "reviewers" for the messages. This "reviewer" role can be over-credit for upstream translators who have never worked on launchpad, as well as over-claiming that they support working through launchpad.

I myself as an upstream GNOME translation coordinator try hard to promote coorperations with upstream, by convincing Ubuntu contributors that launchpad should be avoided as much as possible, except for Ubuntu-specific messages, or unless some coordinators volunteer to do the sync with upstream. But my name appearing as reviewer of many messages just confuse them for what I said. Many still think they actually have interactions with me through launchpad, which is not true.

I can't propose yet what the fix should be, because I don't have enough experience with launchpad to figure out in what situations I'm accounted as "reviewer".

Changed in launchpad:

This has been fixed a while ago (some old data is unfixed and we won't bother with it), I'm going to QA this cycle, though.
