You are right. But the data from snap or flatpak are different to "Author". 

Example snap:
https://snapcraft.io/keepassxc
Info from snap site: Website and contact
Discover show me Author: Contact
I think the name of "author" is wrong. The data is "contact"

Example Flatpak:
https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.keepassxc.KeePassXC
Info from flatpak site: Developer and publisher
Developer: keepass team
Publisher: see detail (some guys from flathub)
I think "Author" is wrong again. The data from flatpak is who is the devs.

I think flatpak and snap information is a big disaster but Discover doesn't
help with the "Author" tag.

Does the "author" word come from flatpak/snap?

I think the name "Author" is confusing and wrong anyway.

Sorry, but it's difficult explain the problem.
