In some cases leaving Mandriva is appropriate, as originator of the 
package in question, for example.
Of course not for support messages.  So we have to change these 
occurances case-by-case.
With the *.po files, we have the English, so even if we don't know the 
other language, we have the context to know if a particular case should 
be changed.
With the context, just replacing Mandriva with Mageia should be possible 
generally, without needing to mark the translation as fuzzy.

One approach if several people work on this, is to list packages with 
"Mandriva" on a wiki page, and mark each package as "working on", 
"updated" or "keep", while collectively going through the list.  (Much 
as was done with the wiki conversion.)
