A regular plural: the -s attaches to the second half of the compound, just as in mothers. The same spelling also does duty as a verb, since godmother can be used transitively to mean acting as godmother to someone. After a singular subject (she godmothers) it is the verb. After a number or a determiner (two godmothers, her godmothers) it is the noun.
