I don't think it's all that uncommon to need to give credit or attribution to non-authors. For example, one case that comes up often in man pages is the need to credit the developer of the application that is documented in the man page. I think the appropriate way to mark up those instances is with Othercredit and a Contrib or Personblurb child that describes the person's role. --Mike
