It works. I.e., modinfo will list multiple MODULE_AUTHOR entries. MODULE_AUTHOR() just creates a special data section, nothing magic about it. Several are allowed (in general).
However, include/linux/module.h says: /* Author, ideally of form NAME <EMAIL>[, NAME <EMAIL>]*[ and NAME <EMAIL>] */ #define MODULE_AUTHOR(_author) MODULE_INFO(author, _author)
so someone thought that they should all be listed together (in one entry).
