Can you precisely say what do you want to convey to the RG members?
Yes, indeed! What you seem to be suggesting is either:
i/ You did most of the work for a joint paper, which has now been submitted to a journal. You're not happy that the other contributors getting equal billing with you. You want this acknowledged in the journal.
Or
ii/ To rectify what you think is unfair attribution to others of work mainly done by you, you want someone to make you a reviewer of your own article!
The second of these is simply impossible! Journals pick their own referees. Nobody can referee their own work! Unless the journal is horribly corrupt!
The first matter should have been sorted out long be submission of the article! Proper recognition should be sorted out fairly between the authors themselves. If the others don't agree with your account of what's fair, withdraw you contribution then! But only if you feel the others can't harm your career prospects. If they can look for help from university officials, outside your department, you trust.

I think this kind proposition should not be posted in RG. If there are enough reasons, you should not publish joint papers with such authors.
Subir, could you give me some indication of what's gone on here, please. Or would that be too awkward?
