<1390779829-24168-1-git-send-email-mhagger@alum.mit.edu>

We decided at 48bb914e (doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pages, 2011-03-11) to remove "author" and "documentation" sections from our documentation. Remove a few stragglers.

Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>

These deletions were assented to on the Git mailing list by the
persons whose names are thereby removed.  (I mention this fact without
implying that people mentioned in documentation hold a veto over their
names' removal.)
