Most of the meta data is parsed by humans, so I don't see any
complication with adding multiple authors to the author field using
standard email format: "Anatoli <email@here>, Tarek <email@here>".
We already have authors and maintainers (which causes confusion), so
adding yet another field for contributors is overkill, IMHO. It's common
practice to put credits into a README or separate file within the package.
I don't think we should grow the package meta-data beyond what's
reasonably needed to identify a package and its origin - otherwise we'll
end up with a reinvention of RDF.
I'd close this ticket as "works for me". |
