I just did a little investigation. A comparison between Czech and my 
language (Vietnamese) helps showing what happened.

The latest revision of Czech translation of digikam.po that does not 
contain the "Your names" message is revision 1601729 [1], it appeared 
(maybe again) in the revision 1601730 [2]. Checking the two 
correspondent revisions in the Vietnamese translation, one can see that 
the message was translated but obsolete in revision 1601729 [3], and not 
obsolete anymore in revision 1601730 [4].

So just for the case of digikam.po, my conclusion is that tosky's guess 
is correct: the message existed at some point in the past, was removed 
before revision 1601729 and was readded in revision 1601730.

1) To get the list of contributors, you can try opening the PO file in a 
text editor (e.g. Kate) instead of your translation program, and check 
those lines at the beginning of the file, before the first empty pair of 
msgid and msgstr.

2) Though I guess it's doable, I'm not sure doing this is free of side 
effects. Let's see what tosky thinks.
