At the present time Peter has exactly the same options available to him as any other Avalon contributor (as distinct from an Avalon committer).I am using this case as an example. Someone removed author tags--explicitly Peter D.'s. Peter D. is currently unable to ensure that his author tags remain which he seems pretty stuck on. Removing an author tag without the consent of the author is not cool.
The code is owned by the community. If the author did not wish the code to be owned by the community, then the author should not have donated it.If this is the perception of an author's role, it provides excellent reasons
for removing the author tag, in my view.The important thing is that it is done *with* the author's consent.
I have contributed patches to various Avalon source files (mostly build.xml related, or a rare fix to a build failure). Those were donations. Once donated, the onus of ongoing maintenance is transferred to the recipient.
