No we don't need maintainer access, just a valid account. (No need to be
part of the team). − when you do a GET of course..

We can't actually download the number of translations from someone to a
specific project.
But we can check for the translation headers, to get the name of the
translator... Better would be to get the translator activity


What I don't want is people updating every files only to get badges.. We
would loose quality.
