Did you look at wikiblame?  It does a lot more than just list a few names.
The preamble to the GFDL says as a secondary purpose, "this License
preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work,
while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others."
Just listing three names and "with numerous other contributors" doesn't
preserve for *all* authors (or any publisher) a way to get credit for their
work, and makes no effort to keep authors from being considered responsible
for modifications made by others.
