The data is stored in the environment under the key authors. It's a dictionary, where the keys are the names of the documents and the values a list of author names.

Use the .. author:: Author Name <email or url> directive to add information to a document. With .. author_list:: you can add a paragraph, that list all authors that are set for a document, like this::

Written by: author1 <mail@some.org>, author2 <site.org>

The .. allauthors:: directive generates an ordered list of all authors, sorted by the number of contributions in descending order.
