Are there requirements on the header?

Are there any requirements on the headers of po files for Fedora?  In
the Translation Project there are some pretty exact requirements on
the format.  Refer to point 7 of
http://translationproject.org/html/translators.html for details.  The
Fedora files I've updated have had different headers.  While some was
similar to the TP versions, others assigned the copyright to the
initial translator.

Does the Fedora project have any opinion on this?  If it has, I could
follow that for new translations.  But what would be necessary to do
to make non-conforming header to conform to those rules.  I mean,
for example, that I can't just change a document where an individual
has copyright and assign it to the FSF or someone else.  But would an
email exchange with the copyright owner be enough?  Or what would be
required?

Or, maybe the right question is: Where should I ask these questions?
