 Originally discussed on Slack:

 If the WordPress site language is changed from the default English, the
 translator section will appear at the bottom of the Credits page (`/wp-
 admin/credits.php#wp-people-group-validators`).

 My understanding is that these avatars and the contributor list are
 generated based on the following logic:

 - If that user has PTE role: Displayed with avatar
 - If the user has GTE role for the WordPress project: Displayed with
 avatar
 - If the user suggests at least one string for the release: Appears in the
 nickname list

 I think this page should display "People who contributed to that major
 WordPress release."  Therefore, I feel that the current logic does not
 necessarily match that policy.

 For example, as long as you have GTE/PTE role, it will always be displayed
 with avatar, even if you have not translated anything for that release.
 Furthermore, no matter how many strings a user without GTE/PTE role
 suggests for the release, they will not be displayed with avatar.

 Ideally, I think at least the following logic would be good.

 - Count the number of suggested strings for that WordPress major release
 - Count the number of suggested strings for the Gutenberg plugin version
 bundled with that WordPress major release
 - Add up both numbers, sort them in descending order, and display the top
 `X` people with their avatars
 - Other people will be displayed in the nickname list
