The point being, we don't necessarily know who the authors are until we tag the release, and accurately updating an AUTHORS file in the branch would have to happen after the tag is applied which means the updated file wouldn't be included in that release.
Instead of _only_ tagging a particular commit as v1.2.3, you could branch off that commit, commit the AUTHORS file update (and anything else), then tag that as v1.2.3.
Whether that's worthwhile in your case is up to your project. -- Richard
