Yes, the spell should exist in both grimoires.  When the spell hits the
stable grimoire, then and only then do you remove it from games.

I don't think anybody would object to your taking on maintainership of a 
few spells.  In fact, that's what general gurus tend to do.  We just 
don't feel we need to lock people into a section and/or lock them into 
specific spells if they don't want while providing those who want to 
cover a whole section to be able to do so.  Generally the section 
maintainers welcome contributions, just discuss what you'd like to do 
with each section maintainer before making drastic changes.

Nah, I just think he wasn't thinking about the issue at the time.
