Your commits wouldn't apply for some reason (the GitHub site has been buggy all day), so I manually made the changes on my version.

It's not working for me. The authoring info disappeared.

Very worried by this, why should we change this on a theme level? This should be core level. And we are in UI freeze.

Yeah, it was an idea I had. I think it's a good idea. But perhaps a good idea for D8. If that's what people-in-the-know are saying, then D8 it is.

Oh, and in response to my comments above, Dmitrig's code did work, I just somehow didn't have a good copy of it. When I tried it later (after someone else cleaned up the Bartik code) it totally worked.

I'm not convinced this is the right way to do it. What happens on multi-lingual sites where if you set published by to "This was Published by an awesome dude", a person visiting from France wouldn't see "C'a été Publié par un type impressionnant". This might better be done by Locale or http://drupal.org/project/stringoverrides .

No patch here, setting to active, and adding 'global' to the title.

Stephthegeek also brought up http://drupal.org/project/submitted_by . So I'm leaning towards setting this to by design, but I could be convinced otherwise! It would be possible to bring parts of its ideology into! ;-)

It seems no one is noticing the "version 8.x-dev" , we will discuss this later - it can actually be an improvement to the whole of core.
