I don't agree with that. The original author has responsibility for the base plugin, support, and documentation for it's functionality and installation.
If somebody later comes along and modifies the plugin (add/subtract/modify), then that person assumes responsibility for documentation and support for the modified parts and becomes first line of support in case of issues. If it's been determined the modifications have no responsibility in the issue, then the problem gets kicked back to the previous author and so on. I think the same general principle applies to just about any product - free or not. Last one to touch it takes responsibility and traces backwards until the responsible party is found.
