For a community plugin repo I assume that multiple authors might be involved in the development of a plugin
For the element... <author_name>Someone</author_name> Can this be a comman separated value. I am thinking of automaticaly generating this from an AUTHORS.txt file Also, is there an e-mail optio we can add or what about a URL to an AUTHORS file?
