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. |

Maintainer field is not specified in PEP 241, PEP 314 and even PEP 345. Can we add this field to PEP 345? |

The point is, the current implementation of Distutils will take the maintainer *or* the author for the Author field. So this relates to #962772 : do we want to keep maintainer and maintainer_email at all ? I'll push a mail in Distutils-SIG about this. |

This is now defined in PEP 345 and implemented in Distutils2. |
