I was assuming that aggrieved non-authors could then use out of band
means to ask that their unauthored drafts be unpublished.  At least
this lets them know about funny business.

Sure, a sufficiently devious author could use fake addresses that he
controlled, but that seems a higher degree of evil than we need to
plan for.  Should it happen, I'm sure we'll have the tools to swat the
violators.
