From PEP 345: “Note that this field is intended for use when a project is being maintained by someone other than the original author: it should be omitted if it is identical to Author.”
It’s therefore logical that maintainer wins over author: The metadata file wants a contact point, so if the original author is not active anymore and there is another person acting as maintainer, the maintainer is the contact.
This is IMO a documentation bug, which I’m assigning to distutils2 (distutils docs only get quick fixes for things that don’t work at all). |
