[issue12840] "maintainer" value clear the "author" value when register

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

I think this is intended behavior.  When the author of a project is the one to register with PyPI, they use the author and author_email fields, which get displayed at PyPI.  When it is not the original author but someone else who packages and registers a project, then they fill author and maintainer entries, and PyPI uses the maintainer/maintainer_email values as person to contact.
