New submission from Paul Ganssle <p.gans...@gmail.com>:

This is basically the same as issue 962772, as there seems to have been a 
regression. The current version of distutils discards author= metadata if 
maintainer= is present, even though PEP 345 has added the Maintainer: and 
Maintainer-Email: metadata fields.

I think that the way forward is to have write_pkg_info generate separate 
Maintainer: and Maintainer-Email: fields.
