I wanted something cryptographic that would be like when you submit a paper for publication. Ideally, each author is listed separately, but they have a signature proving they weren't added to the paper (note) without their consent. I suppose though that all the coauthors could just do a multisig at that time they finalize the paper for submission and send it off?

Multisig adds a lot of complication. We're doing peer review and co-authorship with approval/attestation events. Sort of the way you can recommend someone else's 30818 wiki page. One npub writes it and lists all of the authors, publishes, and the authors sign-off on that, and the client gives their entry in the author list a verification โœ”๏ธ
