I’m not so sure it requires a database. It dos require the ability to read an 
existing draft.

With a -00 draft, you could simply define the case - all authors have to 
confirm. With a successor draft, a “new" author is one that isn’t listed as an 
author on the previous version. We could continue to gild that lily by noting 
when authors are dropped, and enquiring of the dropped co-authors.

That said, a database might make it simpler for the tools.
