Comment:

 In an attempt to track who did what, we're currently versioning the
 post_author field: storing how the author has changed over time.  This is
 the wrong thing to do and is causing this bug.

 We should instead be storing the user_id of the person who made the
 revision in the post_author field.

 Attached.
