Development record
2026-10-29 — Decided by the technical facilitator on delegation, 2026-10-29: CITATION.cff and the README's citation block name the organisation ([redacted-user]) as the work's author in place of a person, under the product thinker's ruling that no member's name appears in tracked files and that LICENSE is the only exception. Putting a personal name back later is a one-line revert in each file if the product thinker wants one (iss-2610290855523061).

- iss-2610290855523061Tracked files name the organisation's members and collaborators: about 63 files carry a member's GitHub login or display name, in credits, the plugin manifests, the code-owners file, the mailmap, the committed identity pin, test fixtures, attribution cases, research notes and records. The product thinker ruled on 2026-10-29 that a login appears only in commit metadata (the author and committer of a pushed commit), never in the content of prose or code, and that people are named by role. The one exception the product thinker kept is the copyright line in LICENSE, which still names its holder.
