Shared Authorship Post
Provide the ability for the original author to have the option to enable others with a given role to modify/edit the post that they've created.
The thought behind this is that in some shared resource/information channels (say a hall of fame, announcements channel, list of contest winners, etc.) there exists information that is updated regularly on a given single post, rather than making multiple posts that may only update one field/variable from the previous post. This places a reliance on that person who made the post to constantly update it, and this may be cumbersome/impossible if that person is traveling, or AFK for whatever reason.
Another common scenario is when sharing markdown posts/announcements for review across other admins: If we create a post we want feedback on, or revisions to be made by others, the reviewer often has to rely on the original posting party to create a second post containing all the markdown within code blocks in order to ensure the markdown formatting isn't lost when providing their revisions.
Having the option to share authorship could go a long way towards ameliorating this common issue =]

This sounds like a good feature for admins, but because of the potential to confuse server members as well as abuse the function, this ought to be accompanied by a mini audit log that pops up when someone clicks on the ``(edited)`` description which would show data on each edit to a post so nobody has to rely on hearsay/poor memory over what's been edited and by whom. 1 -
Yeah - I envision this having a global permission per role, similar to the "Manage Messages" permission but seperate.
Person who created (or has permissions to modify) the role would simply enable the "Shared Authorship" setting so that whoever did post with this role can enable that setting, and only those who share that role with the enabled setting could actually edit the post.
