22. Clarify author field
Consider that it's currently, practically used as a "contact" field. I
get lots of mail that should have gone to a mailing list instead.
Therefore, I'm for:
- Remove the ambiguous "author" field
- Add "contact" field. Potentially with a type associated (person or
mailing list).
- To compensate, add a copyright holder field in some form. Though I
realize that this may be impossible due to conflicting copyright of the
package content. Maybe a field in the spirit of "contact for legal stuff".
The idea is to make it very clear where normal inquiries should go
without removing the mention of a single person in case of legal issues
where mailing lists and other media are inappropriate.
