Tom,
If we do want to keep credits in the SGML pages, how extensive should they be? I already took it on myself to remove Gene Selkov's snailmail address, but do we even want email addresses there? A lot of them are probably dead, and the ones that aren't are causing their owners to get extra spam, because an <email> link is about the easiest thing to scrape from a webpage that there could possibly be.
Historically, the only way to troubleshoot some of the contrib modules was to e-mail the author. If people think that we've reached a standard that everything in /contrib is now well-documented and supported by the general community, the I suppose we don't need contact information. I'm not so sure myself.
