I just put it on now for background noise and it's got Stuart Beattie, Jay Wolpert and T&T. Stuart says he did the first half before the curse stuff which he said was T&T's. I'm not sure which bits Jay did. Lots of stuff changed from Stuart and Jay to T&T, such as Norrington originally being in league with the bad guys and out for power (which is why he wanted to marry Elizabeth).
Stuart was also the one that gave at least Jack and Elizabeth their last names. Swann because she's graceful as a swan and sparrow because he has to fly free. And he's the one who said he stopped short of called Will Will Bear or something because two animal names was plenty.
I'm still not clear on exactly what Jay added but it was obviously enough to still get writing credit. Stuart explained at the end of the commentary how they got credit: At the end all the script drafts are given to the writers' guild and the ones that match the final work the closest are given the credit. So there were lots of writers on CotBP but it was mostly T&T and they were influenced a bit by Stuart and Jay's draft.
Keira&Jack are my favorite of the commentaries but the writers aren't bad. :)
