This is all very puzzling.  Suppose that document editor X in a WG
receives a paragraph that has been crafted by another WG member Y.
Also, suppose that in fitting the paragraph into the document, X
changes the text a bit (or a lot).  Now, does Y retain "legal
control" (presumably you mean copyright) over the paragraph as
it finally appears in the finished document?
