I guess that's it. This is about how we work as a team.

Yes. Technical issue remains open.

So far you've been the first to react like this, so we don't have much
background about this. Originally, Author field was here to give credits,
grants, and eternal fame. You'd like to add the possibility to give "veto"
changes, potentially freezing your contribution even in defavor of others.
I'm obviously not in favor of such reaction, particularly when invoked
reasons are far beyond the project itself ("don't change anything, it's
working here"), as it's highly counter-productive. Please do whatever you
want to do regarding authoring, veto, etc... We'll see how to handle this in
the repos, for the sake of the project. Author issue closed for me.
cheers,
Seb
