There may be a solution to prevent this problem from escalating. We could amend the edit notice on Wikipedia to require the author to release third parties from the need to maintain a list of five "principal authors" per page, since such a release is explicitly provided for in the FDL..
This is a big problem indeed. However, if the user threatening this is unreasonable (which it appears that s/he/it is), then this will not help the immediate situation, as everyone licensed their contributions under the GFDL which has the five main authors clause in it.
