#1388: Ability to see contributors of a project

 Now that plugins and themes are starting to become translatable by
 everyone, the need arises for developers to
 [https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2015/11/04/hello-polyglots-i-am-
 part-of-the-team/ appoint translations editors] for their plugins. This
 linked post shows that it is quite hard to choose people, especially
 because there is no way to see who actually has already contributed to
 your project.

 In this use case it would actually also make sense to see the amount of
 translation work each user has done--you'd possibly rather ask someone who
 has done a whole bunch of translations to be an editor, than someone who
 has just contributed a single tranlation.

 Maybe it would make sense to spin this overview more as a guide page for
 the developer (and hence only accessible to them) on "How to announce
 translation editors for your plugin", i.e. include some guidelines like
 "please ask this person personally before you ask to appoint them".

 This limited visibility would address potential performance problems if
 these stats are slow to fetch.
