I don’t know if first authorship needs to go away. I’ve definitely been 2nd or 3rd author for a few days of work (as compared to months of work for the first author).
You can give detailed attribution (many papers require them nowadays), but no-one ever reads them.
in a structured and dynamic system, order could be randomised - not entirely, but between the “tiers” of contributors… it looks as though if everyone submitted detailed attribution, that could then be used to dynamically vary order so that nobody gets “first” for every view for the same amount of effort as others
