Bug Description
To ensure that new translation contributors are given early recognition of their input, it would be nice if a list of all translators were easily available. If such were available, I would list all contirbuters in my applications "about" dialog.
As It stands, a list can be obtained by visiting each language in turn.
It would be great if there was a cumulative plain text list of contributors for ALL languages somewhere.
and IDEAL if said list were included whenever new translations are pushed by bzr.

I'm guessing the best way to implement this would be by exposing the list of translation contributors in the Launchpad API [1] and then project maintainers could just write a small script to obtain this list from Launchpad.
Currently this is not implemented, but if you or anyone would like to contribute to make it available, Launchpad is Open Source, and anyone with coding skills and some mentoring from the Launchpad Translations team should be able to fix it. Here's how to get started with hacking on Launchpad:

From what I hear, exposing data through the API ranges from "trivial" to "not possible without a significant amount of work", so I'd check with the developers either on this bug or directly on IRC on #launchpad or #launchpad-dev
