I noticed here on meta that the documentation posts have what appear to be the system user as the author.

On our site we tend to just leave the author as the person who created the post, however for older posts it feels a bit odd to have them showing a user who may not be active any more.

Is there any reason why we shouldn’t change the post author to our system user for documentation type posts?
