Yes, that was the cause for some duplicates. I'm currently thinking
about how to handle this. Transfer of ownership like you suggested
would be easily possible with Drupal. A different possibility would
be to let confirmed authors edit anything they like. There is a
revision keeping feature that would make that safe to do -- sort of
like in a Wiki -- and it would easily allow groups of authors (of
which there are a few) to share maintenance.
If you guys have any preference there, let me know.

Commenting is currently restricted to users with accounts and thats
how I'd like to keep it.
