[Run Plugin manager] Allow multiple authors

[htcfreek]

We should think about to allow more than one plugin author in plugin.json and to show it as comma separated list in the plugin manager ux. I suggest to allow this because sometimes other contributors than the original plugin author are adding improvements and features.

Additional it should be possible to assign different homepage urls per author. (In addition to the plugin web page itself.) This allows an author to link to it's GitHub page. (This touches #9921.)

Original comment

How de we handle cases like this where an other contributor than the original plugin author adds some improvements? Should I simply add my name to the authors property of plugin.json? Or do we ignore this. (I personally would prefer the option to mention more than one author in plugin.json with the possibility to add different homepages per author. But this needs to be a separate issue.)

Hi @htcfreek,
I've just verified and the author field is for the original author of the plugin. (...)

@jaimecbernardo, @crutkas
Should we close this issue or discuss about other possible solutions like an "Improvements made by" field?

[jaimecbernardo]

I feel like the discussion can live in this issue, which is how to attribute significant contributions to plugins.

Because this will have a ux part too I like to have you been part of the discussion.

[niels9001]

What about a simple fix by just changing the Authored by into "Contribrutors" and name the people in the plugin.json string? E.g. "Jane, John and Joe"?

I'm with @niels9001 solution on this. don't over engineer

@crutkas , @niels9001
Can I close this. We had no case in the past where this feature was needed. So I don't see any reason to implement it.
