Author information is typically available on the website, and that's what WWW: line is for.

We removed old/superfluous/bogus attribution, which most often was some "ported by" thing, yes, but not just limited to that. (When upstream authors want their attribution to be more visible, they should fix their websites (WWW: line), not abuse pkg-descr for this.) ./danfe
