No, it really is the other way around!
Take a look at the HTML 3.2 recommendation — it's the closest thing
there is to a spec defining what is meant by 'made'. The section on
anchors <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html32#anchor> states that
"REV=made is sometimes used to identify the document author, either
the author's email address with a mailto URL, or a link to the
author's home page." That is, rev=made is used to link from a page to
its author, thus rel=made is used to link from an author to a page
they made.
rel=author/rev=made links from page to author.
rev=author/rel=made links from author to page.
The way you're interpreting it is as "made by" which is a perfectly
natural and sensible interpretation, but wrong according to the
specification of the term, and how it's used in the wild. This is a
good illustration of why verbs are a bad idea as link types - nouns
or adjectives work better.
