I would like to see the Bower spec be more specific about what should go in the author field.
I agree in the demarcation outlined in #15, but if you aren't willing to add a separate attribute, which frankly I do not think you should either, it would be nice to see a description that states that authors are considered the on-going maintainers and primary contacts for the repo.
This has caused me grief after someone PR'd four words and added themselves to author list in bower and then got offended when another maintainer suggested it wasn't an appropriate thing to do.
Please. No open source project needs the grief of irrational conflicts over egos.
If you can either spell out a more specific definition or even better save people some grief and get rid of authors and change it to maintainers I would be grateful.
Thank you for your time.
