if my memory is correct, the "nits" checker, which draws its

about more than five authors to prevent posting of I-Ds.
Umm???
If you're referring to idnits, it does no test the number of
authors
in any way or form. I haven't checked whether the current,
soon-to
be replaced submission tool tries to check this, but idnits
does most emphatically not.
I apologize to idnits. I have seen documents rejected by some
process because they had more than five authors, but I don't
remember whether it was the submission tool or someone
overzealous at the (present or past) Secretariat.
