[New-bugs-announce] [issue13035] "maintainer" value clear the "author" value when registering

[Joshua Bronson]

New submission from Joshua Bronson <jabronson at gmail.com>:

This issue was originally opened in the PyPI tracker but was dismissed on the theory that it's a bug in Python:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3396924&group_id=66150&atid=513503


"""
If in one package's setup.py I provide maintainer (with email) and author (whith 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 it works, so seems that this is only a bug in the register procedure.
