Joint authors, in the absense of a joint authorship agreement, can grant any non-exclusive license to anyone.
Our articles aren't joint authorship in that sense.
Whether or not they are is a question which can only truly be answered by a court.
Each editor is an independent licensee of the previous copyright holding editors who, under the permissions of the license, creates and publishes a derivative under the same license.
If that is true then each editor is committing copyright infringement, because Wikipedia articles don't comply with the GFDL. I find it hard to believe that this is the case.
