That leaves us with the question whether any contributor (IPR-wise)
needs to be called "author". Not sure about that. But if we don't call
them authors, they should be listed in a agreed-upon place in the spec.
For minor contributors, the Acknowledgments section seems appropriate,
and that follows normal practice in all kinds of publications.
Because of the IPR implications, that probably should also include
contact info, just as for authors.
That would only arise for pre-RFC5378 text that is subject to the
disclaimer clause *and* fails a "fair use" test. But it isn't much use
anyway - the contact info in almost every older RFC is obsolete.
