[New-bugs-announce] [issue12840] "maintainer" value clear the "author" value when register

[Luca Fabbri]

New submission from Luca Fabbri <lucafbb at gmail.com>:

I reported this problem in the pypi site issue tracker (issue 3396924):
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=513503&aid=3396924&group_id=66150

However it seems that is a python bug.

If in one package's setup.py I provide maintainer (with email) and author (whit email) after the "python setup.py register ... upload" I create a new package where I see the maintainer as a creator.

If I manually fix it through the pypi user interface all works, so seems that this is only a bug of the register procedure.
