Only the wireshark man page contains the list of all the authors, man pages of other wireshark-related tools do not. The list of the authors is quite long, but wearing my upstream hat I think they deserve the credit for their contribution. The wireshark man page is already very long even without the list thus I think it is OK to list of authors there.
