But we are not, or are we ? The last API proposal was

void       gtk_about_dialog_show     (GtkWindow    *parent,
				      GdkPixbuf    *logo,
				      const gchar  *name,
				      const gchar  *version,
				      const gchar  *copyright,
				      const gchar  *comments,
				      const gchar **authors,
				      const gchar **documenters,
				      const gchar  *translator_credits);

not

void       gtk_about_dialog_show     (GtkWindow    *parent,
				      GdkPixbuf    *logo,
				      const gchar  *name,
				      const gchar  *version,
				      const gchar  *copyright,
				      const gchar  *comments,
				      GValueArray  *authors,
				      GValueArray  *documenters,
				      const gchar  *translator_credits);

or are you complaining that you can't do

  const gchar *authors[] = {
    "Peter Mattis",
    "Spencer Kimball",
    "Josh MacDonald",
    "and many more...",
    NULL
  };
g_object_set ("authors", authors);

?
