I haven't seen any conventions for this (and I think I already told you so). If
we want to have one, I think it would make the most sense to make it what we had
before, separated by commas (probably with a space after that). Like this:
Daniel Glazman <glazou at mozilla.org>, David Baron <dbaron at mozilla.org>
That would at least be easy to parse in the different places where we need it
and has little overhead.
Cheers,
