Or make it optional. At the moment i am just working
around that like this:
org.apache.forrest.plugin.dtdx-input/status.xml
<status>
<developers>
<person name="Volunteer needed" email="[email protected]" id="open"/>
</developers>
<changes>
<release version="0.1" date="unreleased">
<action dev="DC" type="add" context="admin">
Initial plugin, moving stuff out of forrest core.
</action>
...
We can still use the committer's initials in the changelog.

It is already optional, so no need to remove it.
Anyway, other people might be using these DTDs
and they might want the author tags.
