In general, I'm not a fan of the AUTHOR sections. As you've noted, they can get stale or out of sync pretty easily. A lot of this information is captured in the version control metadata, CREDITS, and RESPONSIBLE_PARTIES, and if someone's looking to get a question answered, we should probably be steering them towards our community interfaces rather than towards individuals. (Esp. since those individuals may have moved on from the project.) -- Will "Coke" Coleda
