Looks good to me.

Just to nitpick, at what point does this pipeline become not 'authored' by these three people?

For me, these are the historic authors.
The contributors list in the manifest in the nextflow.config, reflects everyone.
And the author key has even been removed.
Also this author list has been replaced by the nf-core/rnaseq team in the LICENSE file.
For me, this list in this file, is just a remnant and is due to disappear in future TEMPLATE update.

@mirpedrol could probably confirm if I'm right or not

But the Credits section of the README could get an update, as I believe @pinin4fjords to be the true maintainer of this pipeline.
As I'm now in charge of this release since Jon is away, I'll let it slide and we'll make sure to update this later.
Thanks for nitpicking.
I do believe it's important to properly credit people for their work.

This value should contain the same names that are listed in contributors with the contribution "author", in the manifest of nextflow.config. In fact, when we generate the pipeline from the template we use this to populate the contributors field.
If these names in particular should be listed as authors is a different discussion. To me, authors are the original authors, and can include others if they have contributed significantly (for example on a pipeline rewrite, etc.). But maybe we could discuss this within core-team or maintainers.

Yeah, I think this could do with a discussion.
