Yes it was me. I've been annoyed by that upload issue.
It's happening for the .po as well, attributing the translator changes to
committer despite the .po headers.

Yes please. This is a case of renaming the existing .pot to fix a developer
design error.
We have had no issue with automatic updates of the .pot content, nor with
the automatic addition of new .pot from bzr sources. Those are both working
wonderfully.

Besides the attribution errors we are not having any issues with the
regular translation events. I was kind of expecting this one to throw up a
manual check. It's an exception to the process and won't be happening
regularly.
