I think this fear is overstated. Even though people have a conflict of
interest, I think that in the vast majority of times once a set of
guidelines have evolved, there will rarely be any serious doubt about
who should be credited. I would propose a pilot project just to see
how it would work.
I think people will be reluctant to assign themselves more credit than
they deserve because it doesn't look good. Even people who have a hard
time with keeping to NPOV would probably find it easy to not take more
credit than their due.
