Summary: when both maintainer and author provided, author discarded

Initial Comment:
When both maintainer and author contacts are passed to distutil's setup, the resulting PKG-INFO file has only an author field (set to the maintainer contact!).  The original author contact information is discarded.

Both maintainer and author contacts should be preserved.  If PKG-INFO doesn't support a maintainer contact, it should be added to the spec.
