Okay, that's the point. The authors name comes from contact->alias, may be
this is what Ethan intends. The manpage configcgi.html#lock_author_names
is not really clear and should mention that the alias and not the contact
name is used there.

What is about the following:

lock_author_names=1 -> contact->alias
lock_author_names=2 -> contact->name
