I admit that it sounds a bit formal.  I followed the model from
groff_man(7) (and groff_man_style(7)), where several hands were
involved.

Authors
    The GNU implementation of the man macro package was written by James
    Clark; beyond Version 7 Unix compatibility, he supported the SunOS
    extensions listed in subsection “History” above.  Werner Lemberg
    supplied the S and cR registers.  Larry Kollar added the FT, HY, and
    SN registers; the HF string; and the PT and BT macros.  G. Branden
    Robinson implemented the AD and MF strings; CS, CT, and U registers;
    and the MR macro.  Except for .SB, the extension macros were written
    by Lemberg, Eric S. Raymond, and Robinson.

    This document was originally written for the Debian GNU/Linux system
    by Susan G. Kleinmann.  It was corrected and updated by Lemberg and
    Robinson.  The extension macros were documented by Raymond and
    Robinson.  Raymond also originated the portability section, to which
    Ingo Schwarze contributed most of the material on escape sequences.

My intention was to be unambiguous without being repetitive.  In theory,
there's little risk of confusing you with your sister unless she also
contributes code to pdfmom(1).  :)

What would you recommend?

Regards,
Branden
