There isn't a standard, as far as I know, but I think the following
format is generally acceptable: a list of names, in no particular order,
each optionally followed by an email address in angle brackets,
seperated by newlines. Example (taken from the Guide):

msgid "translator_credits"
msgstr
"Telsa Gwynne <hobbit@aloss.ukuug.org.uk>\n"
"Dafydd Harries <daf@muse.19inch.net>"

The newlines are important so that the list appears nicely in the
Help/About dialogue. It's fine to leave the email address out if you
wish.
