I don't think it's not just for the original authors.

For updates/patches I don't think there's a hard rule but normally I 
would think the people at the top of the file would be "major" 
contributors to the dissector (where "major" is not really well 
defined).  Others would go in AUTHORS (for new functionality) and/or the 
check-in comment (for small changes or bug fixes).
