One unfortunately limitation of AUTHORS is that we don't record email addresses, just plain names. So that could be a source of ambiguity to sync *from*. OTOH, many of the people in AUTHORS are inactive (some names originate from Sodipodi days), so they're not going to be maintaining website accounts or anything. We still extend to them voting rights in Inkscape due to their involvement in our project's origins, but it might be hard to (re-)establish identities there. So that makes for a problem if we sync'd *to* AUTHORS from the website accounts. Anyway, not sure what the best approach is here, but hoping you have some good ideas.
