I personally think this is somehow a hard tradeoff, so my opinion is
rather neutral, and I respect your decisions.

On the one hand, I think keeping this field is indeed a way to give
credit to the contributors, which can motivate more contributions and
contributors. On the other hand, over the years, this field has seemed a
bit cumbersome and inconsistent in both Chinese translations.
