I'm changing the plugin installer to get author name from "author" function, but for compatibility it'll check the "authorName" function whether the author one is missing. On QGis <= 1.8 the users can still install and use plugins from the new plugin repository without updating the plugin installer. The only issue using an old plugin installer could be it doesn't show the author of plugins which uses the new metadata and are only locally available (e.g. plugins removed from the repo). Should we really release a update for a such problem? I suppose no, but any opinion is welcome.
