Or are you assigning the copyright to Linus, much as other chunks
of Git are copyrighted by Linus?
The convention for xx.po, judging from the way template pot file
is written out, is to name the package's copyright holder, not
translation's, on that line. So Linus does not have to have
anything to do with the German part, but I think the appropriate
name to place there is yours.

Exactly. That line should say that even though I have been the author of
de.po, I still assign copyright (or the assign-able parts of it) to the
package's copyright owner, which in this case is Linus. As Junio says, this
is a suggestion from gettext, and I'd simply follow it here.

s/yours/his/ ? Otherwise this sentence sounds like a contradiction to the
previous one...

How about Junio instead? Linus created Git, but Junio is the official
maintainer (by mutual agreement).

Then the copyright line should probably better read
Copyright (C) 2007 Shawn Pearce, et al.
because that's what the copyright for the other git-gui files say.
