[issue12840] "maintainer" value clear the "author" value when register

[Luca Fabbri]

Luca Fabbri <lucafbb at gmail.com> added the comment:

I'm quite sure that after gettint ownership on an already existent package (with a different author inside) and I added the maintainer (with my name) I get the author override. But maybe I don't remember exactly...

Is not simpler (to understand) to keep always the approach to keep both?
