Rever doesn't write .authors.yml if error

[Christopher J. 'CJ' Wright]

This means I can't fix the .authors.yml file.

The email '[e-mail]' is associated in version control with 'Christopher J. Wright', but is currently assigned to christopher.Please either add Christopher J. Wright as an alias to christopher in 'the authors file' with:

- name: christopher
  email: [e-mail]
  aliases:
    - Christopher J. Wright

or remove [e-mail] from christopher.

Yeah, it means that you need to start the authors file. It could try to write down what it knows, though.

[Christopher J. 'CJ' Wright]

Yeah, I liked the previous version which wrote something for me to edit.

This behavior hasn't explicitly changed, it is just that whatever repo you are on probably didn't succeed.
