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?
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.
I agree.
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.
Absolutely.
