Request form: Improve wording of Submission Deadline Author Reorder

[enrubio]

PCs are still getting confused about how to interpret this field. One way to make it more clear is if we change the options to be something like: "Allow author reorder only", "Allow add/remove authors", and "Don't allow changes".

The current options are as follows, I am not sure your suggestion makes them any more clear?

• 'Allow addition and removal of authors',
• 'Allow reorder of existing authors only',
• 'Do not allow any changes to author lists'

I am hesitant to make this change and changing the values since some venues will already have these values. What if we change the description:

'description': 'Choose how authors may edit the author list. You can allow authors to 1)add/remove authors, 2)reorder existing authors only or 3)make no changes to the author list.'

What do you think? @melisabok @enrubio

ok, let's change the description.

Ooh I see. I made this issue after changing author reorder for Neurips and their request form still has the old options: Yes / No / No changes

I forgot we already changed this. I think the description & options we have now are self-explanatory and straightforward. I'm ok with closing the issue.
