Agreed, there might be many authors, while creator kinda sounds like you are the only one.
I feel like calling yourself an "author" of an open source project sounds nicer than "creator". I think it acknowledges the work of other people on the project more which feels less pretentious. Curious if I'm alone though.

I prefer “Supreme Leader,” as it communicates my dominant status while also acknowledging the sacrifices of the proletariat laboring on the project.

I read them as exactly opposite to you: “creator” leaves room for post-creation owners.

I personally don’t think those words convey different meaning. I typically just call myself a core contributor of projects even though I was an initial founder. If pressed on the topic I say I started the project which implies 1) it’s not done yet 2) many others are working on it

I subscribe to the idea that if your production/creation/whatever is good, people won't care how you call your self. My next creation will be signed: "made by the magnificent Amy Pellegrini". No need to virtue signal your humility.

Agree. You can be proud of your work without undermining others' contributions. No need to gatekeep people based on what they call themselves.
