Hmph, naively I would have expected that you wouldn't need an
extra call to fsck_ident() here, and instead would see something
like this:

	author_count = 0;
	while (skip_prefix("author ")) {
        	author_count++;
                ... do the existing check as-is ...
	}
        if (author_count < 1)
        	err |= report(missing author);
	else if (author_count > 1)
        	err |= report(multiple authors);
