[New-bugs-announce] [issue16403] update distutils docs to say that maintainer replaces author

New submission from Chris Jerdonek:

As discussed in issue 16108 and other issues referenced there, distutils lists the maintainer as the author in PKG-INFO when the maintainer is provided.  However, the documentation does not state this.

This issue is to update the distutils documentation to state this, e.g. here:

http://docs.python.org/dev/distutils/setupscript.html#additional-meta-data

and here:

http://docs.python.org/dev/distutils/apiref.html#distutils.core.setup
