introspecting the author email address

Of course I wrote that and then did summary because the location of the author email address changed between Metadata 1.x and 2.x and I didn't feel like looking up the exact difference.

:-)

So would you see the API for author being

if meta.version < (2, 0):
    author = meta["whatever_it_is_in_1.x"]
else:
    author = meta["whatever_it_is_in_2.x"]

(i.e., the metadata version would be available)?

Sounds like a sensible approach.
