This is a bit vague though -- it seems to indicate that essentially all they have to do is preserve the credit in the author list of the original document: but Wikipedia documents do not have an author list. One can be inferred by looking at the page history, but there is no explicit list anywhere of "these are the authors of this document."
Well, we've always treated this as "It's in the 'Page history'". But it probably would be simple enough to have a link to 'Authors' on each article, and when you click on it, you get a list of all unique id's that worked on the article.
Presumably, at some point as we draw closer to 1.0 and the possibility of print reuse, we'll want to have a setting in preferences for people to (optionally) put their real name for attribution purposes. And then on this 'author' page would show that as well.
