Author metadata out of hand

It takes up at least half a page worth of text. This should be shortened to simply the corresponding author.

The real problem is that we have too many authors :)

I don't know how we could fix this. That's how the template works. We do need to reduce the common institutions into a single footnote (Matthew and Mateusz, Harsh and Shivam, me and you). So that will save us a couple of lines. The paper has crept to more than 20 pages, though (and we don't even have the abstract yet). I think the only fix is to cull some content. I'll open a new issue.

Is your suggestion to remove all footnotes except one?

Yes, my suggestion is to remove all footnotes except for the corresponding author's. This is what many other papers do, especially if they have a high author count.
