Instead of a single "authors" field we could have:

  • implementation_contributors — for people who've contributed to the implementation of the functionality.
  • documentation_contributors — for the people who've contributed to the documentation of the functionality.
  • test_contributors — for the people who've contributed tests for the functionality.

Instead of a single "maintainers" field we could have:

  • implementation_maintainers — for the people who maintain the functionality.
  • documentation_maintainers — for the people who maintain the documentation.
  • test_maintainers — for the people who maintain the tests of the functionality.

Proper crediting is the major reason, I suppose. For the maintainers, letting people know who to talk to for particular areas of the project.
