Now that’s pushed me into (angrily) thinking about Felix Mendelsohn and his likewise talented sister, Fanny (also a composer, and by some accounts a more skilled pianist than Felix), who he often sought out for advice on his own works even though he looked down on her publishing her own compositions. Twisting the knife further, there’s evidence suggesting that some of Fanny’s compositions were published under Felix’s name.

Of course not - all his stuff was out of copyright, so he had no incentive to produce anything new. Just ask any publishing company!
