Perhaps the right answer is that for -bis documents, that, having polled the
previous authors, if they want to continue to be listed, that the 5-author
rule be regularly waived. On a -bis-bis (a "-ter"), maybe the process is not
transitive. (Been there with rfc8415bis, which is rfc3315ter)
But, let the IESG judge/decide at time of publication in consultation with
the RFC editor. Tell the WGs not to sweat the problem during I-D
developement. Just list everyone until IESG stage.
I don't think we'll get into three pages of authors common in my other
scientific realms, such as high-energy physics.
