I manage the site in Git, and Hugo generates a static site, so in theory there would be no live site issues as builds could be cleared before deployment. But for actually tracking down problems with the build, Hugo is pretty clear on syntax problems, bailing the build (and local preview site-serving) as soon as it hits one. For multiple authors, I think Hugo could support a taxonomy as the way to track & display an author. It'd be up to the file management (Git in this case) as far as individual permissions are concerned.
