[Qgis-tr] Translators list policy

[Robert Szczepanek]

Thank you guys for this feedback.

My doubts were more general, but you technical details are very important.
Contribution should be treated more as cumulative effort at any stage, 
not just a temporal snapshot. From this point of view, deletion of 
contributor must be well justified, not rely just on coordinator's 
decision. I can't find at the moment any reason to delete a person from 
the list. Maybe only contributor's direct request.

Two proposals:
1. Pay more attention while deleting contributors. We should ask for 
reasons.
2. Re(create) complete list of contributors from historical commits. 
This of course is long term task, not for now.

regards
Robert
