            Bug ID: 1149968
           Summary: Translation history should *never* show last modifier
                    as "Someone offline"
           Product: Zanata

Screenshot of error

Description of problem:
I've seen throughout translations in Zanata that "(Someone offline)" has
uploaded bogus translations, eg. English strings in Italian targets.

The client must know who uploaded it, and must report this when pushing
translations.  Otherwise, this is an open invitation for anonymous abuse such
as pushing garbage or inappropriate content.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.5.0

How reproducible:
Easy always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to
https://translate.zanata.org/zanata/webtrans/Application.seam?project=zanata-server&iteration=master&localeId=it&locale=en#view:doc;doc:zanata-war/src/main/resources/messages;search:Login
 - Note the numerous false translations
2. Click History on any of these bad translations

Actual results:
(Someone offline) created a Translated revision

Expected results:
John Citizen created a Translated revision

Additional info:
Apparently the reasoning is that "John Citizen might not have translated them,
he only pushed them". This is flawed, as
- He may have actually translated them, and
- He is responsible for the document being uploaded, so he is responsible for
the content.
More so, if someone can push a "Translated" revision, this will potentially end
up in target content with inappropriate content with no recorded submitter.
