Agreed on just using the primary author. The first name is _always_ the
primary author, so we can just go with that. I didn't want to do:

(Tom Lane, Robert Haas; reviewers Bruce Momjian, Jeff Davis)

That was too complicated.

Should I make the change now? It is easy. Should we remove the names
completely? We can consider going to a single name as a move toward
removing names evantually.
