This PR moves the distribution author credits to the tag system, from occasional use of the
__author__variable in the module.The reason is to make authorship more inspectable through the
scikit-basetag system, which is easier to use in an estimator overview, for instance, to make author credits visible programmatically.Also removes the todo from extension templates to use the
__author__variable, since many authors were not using the tag (that was also recommended in the extension templates). This will hopefully prompt more authors to use the tag system in the future.
