Re: [Distutils] Multiple package authors

There are author-email and maintainer-email fields.

You could also or instead use a mailing list address for the author-email or maintainer-email fields. Newlines work (just like file\nnames)?

With a mailing list, package maintainers can share responsibility (*) and hand off correspondence without forwards and indentation.

Oh, I know there are workarounds, but that's not the point. I think it would generally make sense to support multiple authors directly, since collaboration is a common pattern. Cheers -Barry
