It's possible that once an editor publishes to battle.net, there will be an encrypted part of the file that display their name as the original author of the map no matter how many times it gets re-used. This would solve both problems, as long as no one tries to hack that part of it just to take credit for a map people will obviously see was published earlier than theirs with the same functionality.
if this the case I really don't see an issue with maps being open. back in the days of SC1 it was only annoying to have 100 versions of the same map because the downloads took so long. In the next few years or so internet speeds will be bumping up to gigs per seconds so I don't think downloads will be an issue.
