If Reinout appears as the one that did that bad translation is either
because he did it or because someone uploaded a .po file with that bad
translation without touching the .po's Last-Translator field and it was
pointing to Reinout.

be done soon.

To address this issue, we are going to add another filtering option
like: 'different from upstream'. Also, we got a request to add a way to
revert all changes and use whatever upstream has.
