The good pratice, if there are several authors, is to setup a mailing-list (and put its address as official contact address). Otherwise collaboration gets inevitably messy, since authors can get contacted in private randomly. I don't think we should multiply those fields in order to accomodate for subtle role differences. Also, I don't think PyPI is the place to record detailed attribution information. An ad-hoc CREDITS, ACKS file or similar is what you want IMO.
