how are multiple module authors handled by the new apps platform?
We thought we had to use a list of strings, but this doesn't seem to be
considered:

Will multiple authors be supported? Or is it better if we just write a
simple string?
There is currently no special provision in OpenERP Apps for handling
multi-valued manifest entries. Module manifests are simply parsed by the
standard ir.module.module.get_values_from_terp() which expects plain strings
for `author` and `maintainer`, and a list of strings for `contributors`.
For modules with multiple authors, it makes sense to set the author field to a
string containing a comma-separated list of authors. Search queries use
full-text criterions including the author field, so that will work as
expected: a search for "foo" will match modules authored by "foo, bar".
There is no "group by author" anymore.
Note that the Apps front-end does not currently display the `maintainer` and
`contributors` fields.
