Hi,
This version adds:
It is not unknown in academia for supervisors to automatically share
authorship of work by their students. Such cases should be resolved
within the RFC stream concerned.
I tend to think that academic supervisors should not automatically share
authorship with their students, so I’d prefer that text be removed.
The earlier addition about “making a key conceptual or intellectual
contribution” would seem to cover legitimate authorship for academic
supervisors advising their students, without being specific to the
(arguably undesirable) quirks of a particular community.
Cheers,
Colin

Heavily updated following many comments...
The main points were to make it clear that stream policies always win,
and I added a minimal section on dispute resolution.
More comments please!

Abstract:
This document describes guidelines for assigning authorship in RFC

various RFC streams may set their own guidelines, which will have
priority.
