git-gui: Display all authors of git-gui.

Now that git-gui has been released to the public as part of Git 1.5.0
I am starting to see some work from other people beyond myself and
Paul.  Consequently the copyright for git-gui is not strictly the
two of us anymore, and these others deserve to have some credit
given to them.
