With every major language pack release, translations credit disappears for the very previous release

[alanjacobmathew]

With every new language pack release the translations credit of the very previous release disappears(or gets modified to the new release) from the users profile page.

With the 5.9 language release, the credit of WP 5.8(which previously displayed as WordPress 5.8.x - Development) disappeared .

[User]​https://profiles.wordpress.org/thee17/ has translation no credit after 5.3 in the profile page, but has credits in the WP locale page ​https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/en-ca/default/wp/5.4.x/#contributor-thee17

Also if the contributor translates a previous release after the release of a new version, then the credit appears on the profile(i.e translating 5.8 after the release of 5.9 language pack, credit appears.)

It appears that this has likely been fixed at some point.

At the present time, the following projects appear to be listed in some form.

$ curl -s https://profiles.wordpress.org/thee17/ | grep -oE 'WordPress [0-9.]+x'
WordPress 3.8.x
WordPress 4.1.x
WordPress 4.2.x
WordPress 4.3.x
WordPress 4.4.x
WordPress 4.5.x
WordPress 4.6.x
WordPress 4.7.x
WordPress 4.8.x
WordPress 4.9.x
WordPress 5.0.x
WordPress 5.1.x
WordPress 5.2.x
WordPress 5.3.x
WordPress 5.4.x
WordPress 5.5.x
WordPress 5.6.x
WordPress 5.7.x
WordPress 5.8.x
WordPress 5.9.x
WordPress 6.0.x
WordPress 6.1.x
WordPress 6.2.x
WordPress 6.4.x
WordPress 6.8.x

@alanjacobmathew I know it's been a long time, but do you recall what the issue here was? Or can you point out where it's not showing up properly?

For now I'm closing this as worksforme but can re-open it if it's still an issue. I'm unable to find any commits after the date of this ticket that would've changed how this works.

@dd32 This problem still exists.

In your curl command notice after 6.4.x it shows 6.8.x. But he is also a contributor for 6.5.x, 6.6.x and 6.7.x

If the contributor adds a translation(to the previous version) once after the next major version is released, then it'll show.

For example if the above user adds those translation to 6.6.x or even 6.7.x today, then it'll start displaying for those versions too. This works since the 6.8.x version is already released.

When 6.9.x version releases, all credit for 6.8.x for all contributors will disappear from their profile page.

Thanks @alanjacobmathew!

I think I see what's happening now, I believe that when the project is copied, the stats aren't being copied with it. I'm not 100% sure on the flow the team uses to create those versioned core projects, but if I can figure that out I can probably fix this :)
