You are right that it is weird that an original contributor can't easily
edit their own work post publication, but I can't see how you would get
away without some sort of gatekeeper mechanism without introducing
compexity of the order of wikipedia. Maybe some sort of hierarchical
responsibility for a work might help, where one of the white-washers
still has ultimate ownership and final veto on publication, but general
responsibility for maintenance is owned by either the original
contributor or a nominated "grey-washer".
