So I have been using a modified version of Leo Stein's code to do this kind of thing. You basically give it a pre-formatted text file of authors and affiliations and it makes an alphabetical author list. It would probably be good to keep using something like this here.

Of course Leo did this already...

Nate maintains .yml databases for the member list on the website. I wanted to use those, so when he updates the databases the author list can be auto-updated.

@paulthebaker, well in that case we could probably modify part of Leo's code to read in .yml format. We could even get tricksy and just have travis make the tex file...

@jellis18, I committed the script I wrote and its output (which is styled for PRD). We should probably have a few functions for different journal styles.

I'll take a look at Leo's method later.
