Who writes this

The documentation is maintained by desk rather than by individual. Each desk owns a part of the corpus and is responsible for keeping it correct, so a byline tells you who to hold to account for a page rather than whose name looked good on it.

Ownership sits with the desk that runs the relevant part of the system, so the people writing about erasure recovery are the people who operate it. Tell us a page is wrong and watch how fast it gets fixed. That is the measure of expertise we would want to be held to.
