I am not that developer :-) How about this system?
We trim the AUTHOR blocks by just listing the names of contributors to the given module (to give credits to the contributors); And we recommend a new contributor to add his/her name to the end of the list (to give more credits to the initial creators); And this AUTHORS block only appears at the end of the documentation of the module (not to clutter the doc for the end users, but still give them motivations to contribute). The incomplete information about "who did what" in the current AUTHORS blocks are removed but can be recovered in git.
