Bug Description
When someone repairs or improves a string made by another translator, this change gets listed on the Activity list of this other translator -- as if this translator _did_ something at the moment of getting overruled. But this translator did nothing. Listing also the correction or dismissal of strings as an activity, makes the Activity list completely useless.
Some translators have not been active for years, but from their Activity lists they seem to do things now and then -- but all that happens is that their wrong translations get fixed.

Thanks for the report, Benno. What _should_ happen here is that someone should get credit only when their translation is approved (iow, that's how it's designed). When it's "corrected" (if you mean "translation slightly changed") we don't really track the original submitter. When it's dismissed, we don't track that activity either. Do you have an example of a user where this has happened recently?
Do note that some of the "inactive" translators get their activity lists updated for imports (when they are listed as last-translator in PO files), so that might explain some of the spurious activity.
We should probably stop updating the activity list on imports coming from packages or upstreams.
