The Community is the steward over the code, not the author. And I'm really
not sure why you are using the term "defend." Is someone attacking the
code? And what if the "author" was around? Are you saying that the author
needs to "defend" the code, and has some sort of rights that the Community
doesn't have, or that supercede the Community? Does the author defend the
code from the Community, too?
If this is the perception of an author's role, it provides excellent reasons
for removing the author tag, in my view.
