I don't think we have a word for people who added/modified things in phpdoc, but not in the authors list. The authors list is reserved for the very best contributors of us. Anyone can propose somebody to be an author, the decision need to be made on the list, by the community, and an editor adds an author. At least I think this is the right way... Goba
