You mean some other encoding but not the UTF-8? But I could run it in Emacs and edit the list without problems just as UTF-8.

I know how are my pages maintained, so I have templates and inside of templates I can even run scripts, or Emacs functions, and such make the output and it is inserted into the page, and later often formatted by markdown to HTML. When static page generator starts generating, script is run and I don't need to take care of it. For me that would be matter of few minutes to generate list of authors, with some "," (commas) in between or similar.
