Standing policies, yes, but programmatic enforcement, no. Too much in this arena
relies on you and I applying those policies correctly in the parts updates. And
there is always going to have to be some flexibility that needs admin judgement.
An extension to the Name: line to include the LDraw.org username would be good -
better and more future-proof than email address which some authors include.
In which case we should also extend that principle to the change history.
