"GFDL requires that you name at least the five primary authors." That's misleading. GFDL requires you name at least five of the primary authors *on the title page*. It *also* requires that you name "the authors" (presumably, all of them) on the page entitled History.
Crediting 5 principal authors should not be sufficient. Giving a url for the list of authors, maybe, but just choosing 5 people and ignoring the rest, no way.
