Someone pointed out that the authors all get notices when a new draft

Except that the people included are thereby on the record as somehow
being an author of these things, and maybe they don't want to be. I
think that's a little worrisome.
I was assuming that aggrieved non-authors could then use out of band
means to ask that their unauthored drafts be unpublished. At least
this lets them know about funny business.
Sure, a sufficiently devious author could use fake addresses that he
controlled, but that seems a higher degree of evil than we need to
plan for. Should it happen, I'm sure we'll have the tools to swat the
violators.
