I collapsed that into the paragraph for gmp, since it had seemed
pretty short.

A contributors section to say who did what might be a possibility,
then credit the manual to just "The Guile Developers" or something.
(Assuming those now credited would be happy with that.)

I guess a contributors section might be more or less what the AUTHORS
file has now, but with detail keep to minimum, so it's a short
paragraph per person, more or less.
