We do, in a way, but it's not recognized as such. The "author" would be the mythical 10x developer that races to get feature tickets completed, the editors are the ones getting stuck with integrating a pile of stinking hotness into the existing codebase. That kind of setup can work fine if everyone is aware of the others' value, but usually non-technical managers only see the hotness.
