But the translator-credits mechanism isn't great: Users see only the people who helped translate into the current UI language, so if the language is set to US English they see no-one at all.

IIRC Authors and Translators had separate tabs in GTK2's About.

How about adding a linking sentence like:
For translation contributors see the list at the beginning of each .po file.

An automatic greping of the list is not trivial as it sits between file 
description (0-2 lines) and the general translator comment (0-n lines).

Not all mentioned with "translation" in Authors are listed in the 
respective po file. Perhaps they contributed e.g. localized account 
templates? Is it really worth to grep the logs for them?

Just my 2c
