Agreed on just using the primary author.  The first name is _always_ the
primary author, so we can just go with that.  I didn't want to do:

        (Tom Lane, Robert Haas;  reviewers Bruce Momjian, Jeff Davis)

That was too complicated.

Should I make the change now?  It is easy.  Should we remove the names
completely?  We can consider going to a single name as a move toward
removing names evantually.
