This is going too far given the question. It's good to mention it but you
should explain that it's enough to point to another file for the complete
list of authors/translators if all files use the same license.
This has recently been discussed on debian-devel.

Yes you can. Then you should just provide the AUTHORS/TRANSLATORS file
along with the copyright file in /usr/share/doc/<package>/.
