Publishing meta-data about authorship

[Jeff Ramnani]

In my experience with other package management systems, most have
package meta-data that identifies who creates or maintains the package
(e.g. "Author", "Maintainer", etc.).

I'm wondering if we'd like to do this in Fig? I think this is an
important feature that adds accountability to what gets published into
the Fig repository, and I'm interested in your thoughts.

What data do we think is important enought to collect (if any)?

How should we create, store, and use this data?

Here are some examples of what data is collected from other systems
I've used:

RubyGems:
Author(s)

Python distutils:
author
author_email
maintainer
maintainer_email

Debian apt:
Maintainer

Red Hat RPM:
Packager
