so just going through the first file
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/182691/2/add_text.py,cm
1. removes Csisc from 'qqq'
twn only has one revision, importing it
https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Pywikibot:Add_text-adding/qqq&a…
it changed position by @siebrand in 1a89684f .
http://git.wikimedia.org/blobdiff/pywikibot%2Fi18n.git/1a89684f/add_text.py
it was changed position by @siebrand in 448c4dee , from 'aeb' to 'qqq', in
what looks like a case of mis-attribution.

2. removes 'Anskar' from 'ca'
'Anskar' did improve the translation, on twn.
https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Pywikibot:Add_text-adding/ca&ac…
Also, the original twn translation ("Robot afegeix %(adding)s") isnt attributed.
@xqt added it in 9af00aaa .
http://git.wikimedia.org/commit/pywikibot%2Fi18n.git/9af00aaa
It wasnt in the list that was removed
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/pywikipedia/9378 , so it had to come from
somewhere else.
Ah ..., it looks like @xqt copied the translations from the interwiki-adding message,
which were added by @valhallasw , also without attribution.
http://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fi18n.git/71623c02d160849155a26ad9…
Looking through the 'compat' history of the interwiki.py script, the 'ca'
translation was provided by "Arkaitz Zubiaga" in 2006.

3. This is the 'ckb' entry for add_text and similar to (2) above.
'Asoxor' has been removed, but the definitely contributed to the translation over
time, and part of their translation still exists in the current translation.
https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Pywikibot:Add_text-adding/ckb&a…
The ckb original translation also has the same problem as above. The commit only mentions
a SF #:
https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/pywikipedia/8146
4. 'da' - same problem, removing Christian List. There is little change since the
original imported translation, so maybe neither Christian or Kaare should be attribute.
https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Pywikibot%3AAdd_text-adding%2Fda&am…
(da was also taken from interwiki.py; same problem)
5. 'es', removes attribution of both TheBITLINK and Xqt. Xqt rightly removed
attribution for a mechanical change, and TheBITLINK's change has been removed from the
current translation, so I guess they dont need to be attributed any more???
https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Pywikibot%3AAdd_text-adding%2Fes&am…
6. 'ja', removed attribution of Fryed-peach, despite them being a contributor the
current translation text, and doesnt include attribution of the original translation,
provided in
https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/pywikipedia/4868 with a SF #.
(there are another 7 cases of attribution removal in add_text.py alone, which I have only
glanced at.)
From only a very quick look at the cases above, it
appears that only the most recent twn editor is being credited.
