The PKG-INFO file currently only provides an "Authors" field which is
mapped to the DistributionMetadata.get_contact() information.

However, the latter method is really meant to provide access to contact
information and not authorship, which is why it prefers the maintainer
infos over the actual author infos.

As a result, the maintainer can appear as author in the PKG-INFO file,
which is wrong.

Ideal would be to have both an "Author" and "Maintainer" field in the
PKG-FILE with 1-1 mappings to the setup() parameters.
