Speaking personally [1]:
For the initial CA we should contact everyone who's got Submit rights, plus
anyone named in a Name: line for whom we have contact details. New users should
be asked to accept the CA as part of them getting Submit rights.
For future changes, I would only consider "authors" as those who have
contributed content (original parts and modifications to previously issued
parts) to the then current official parts library. This would exclude those who
signed up but never got around to submitting anything and those whose work had
not yet contributed to the official library. So, some clarifcation of the word
"author" is needed in this context.
