Thanks for your effort investigating this. It does match the expected behavior: translatewiki.net only credits most recent translators of each translation. But usually this is offset by the fact that we retain existing credits. Due to way this is implement (trying to parse the source file) this does not work when exporting in non-native file format, which is what I think was done in this case to do the conversion.
TWN tools can't export all message contributors into a new JSON message file? (i.e. editors of the page on TWN)
Or, more bluntly, do we need to migrate the old translation metadata data from the python files to the new JSON files? It isnt a hard job, so no problems. I just want to be clear who is doing what to fix this situation so we can complete the migration to the JSON file format.
