Marc-Andre Lemburg <m...@egenix.com> added the comment: Most of the meta data is parsed by humans, so I don't see any complication with adding multiple authors to the author field using standard email format: "Anatoli <em...@here>, Tarek <em...@here>".
We already have authors and maintainers (which causes confusion), so adding yet another field for contributors is overkill, IMHO. It's common practice to put credits into a README or separate file within the package. I don't think we should grow the package meta-data beyond what's reasonably needed to identify a package and its origin - otherwise we'll end up with a reinvention of RDF. I'd close this ticket as "works for me". ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6992> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
