List of upstream translation contributors are missing from downstream list

[Jiri Grönroos]

Bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/484981 might be related (or I might be reporting a dupe) but here we go:

ubuntu-help had its own template in Ubuntu project in Oneiric series: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/ubuntu-docs/+pots/ubuntu-help

This template was disabled after Oneiric was released and further updates to ubuntu-help were suggested to be made in its own project at https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-docs

This change probably caused names to be dropped from contributors list, for example my name was dropped ( https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-docs/oneiric/+pots/ubuntu-help/fi/+details ). I can still filter my results manually by setting my account to url line: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-docs/oneiric/+pots/ubuntu-help/fi/+filter?person=jiri-gronroos

The same problem seems to exist with deja-dup, see https://translations.launchpad.net/deja-dup/20/+pots/deja-dup/fi/+details and https://translations.launchpad.net/deja-dup/22/+pots/deja-dup/fi/+details - a lot of names are dropped in 22 although contributions from those people still exist.

This issue is not about a new template (POT) for a project. The issue is that downstream contributors are not listed among the upstream's contributors after them messages were accepted by upstream. This looks like a message sharing issue.
