I didn't add Author because I couldn't figure out who it was that authored the patch:
- svn has nicknames, not names + emails
- DEP3 says that Author is optional if Origin is given, and in this case Origin is pointing straight at svn merges/commits
- trunk and stable tree have different svn nicknames as their authors, complicating the authorship a bit more
- I fear more giving wrong authorship than not giving one
If you still think Author is warranted, I'll do some research and come up with one.
