• 💥 @phenomic/plugin-collector-files: remove specific code for author field automatically associated with authors in the database,
  by @MoOx

If you were previously relying on the fact that the meta author from a file was magically resolved to a possible authors from your database, you should instead rely on the generic behavior that works with identical names.
This means you should change author: "name" to authors: ["name"]. This will produce the same magic resolution when retrieving content from a single (id based) query.
If you really want the old behavior back, we should think about a generic solution. So please open an issue.
