This may not be a "bug" per-se,but seems to have a lot of negative
consequences so I'll give it a shot.
According to the rules: A contributor can edit their own Posts -
irrespective of who scheduled it.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Contributor
This creates problems for large publications where there is an editor who
makes changes to posts and then schedules them, sometimes a couple days in
advance.
As it stands now, a contributor can still log in after that process is
done which means unexpected changes and shenanigans might take place.
Wouldn't it make more sense for a contributor to lose editing privileges
as soon as something is no longer in draft modea?
Just my two cents.
