Age Restriction on Newsletter Publishers

Is there an age requirement on allowing someone to become a 'publisher' for newsletters? I attempted to give one of our youth permission to be a publisher so she could add to our stake's pioneer trek information. She is a responsible older youth and called to be a part of the leadership council organizing the trek. When I attempted to add her, only her parents' names came up. Is 18 the age requirement for this? I couldn't find it stated anywhere.

Thanks.

I can't find any documentation but when I look at my ward it looks like the only people listed by name are heads of households and spouses. We have several adult children (ages 19-25) who are in their parent's households and they don't show up in the list either.

On the other hand, you can select youth callings like Beehive President and Deacon's Quorum President as publishers. So I don't think it's really an age restriction. But I can't think of any particular rational for the way it seems to work.
