walker should use the data from the author property

[XhmikosR]

An example is the Base64 project

{
  "name": "Base64",
  "filename": "base64.min.js",
  "version": "0.1.3",
  "description": "Base64 encoding and decoding",
  "author": "David Chambers <[e-mail]>",
  "main": "./base64.js",
  "licenses": [{
    "type": "WTFPL",
    "url": "https://raw.github.com/davidchambers/Base64.js/master/LICENSE"
  }],
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "git://github.com/davidchambers/Base64.js.git"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "coffee-script": "1.4.x",
    "mocha": "1.8.x",
    "uglify-js": "2.2.x"
  }
}

In the above example there's no maintainers array so it makes sense to use the author property if it's available.

Hey, do you think we should strip the email, though?

[XhmikosR]

Yeah, we should only use the author.name.

[Juho Vepsäläinen]

Yeah, we should only use the author.name.

Yes, I did exactly that. There are a couple of formats we need to support. author can be either a string or an object for instance.

In this case the author has included his email within the string (ie. author: "Foo Bar <[e-mail]>"). What I was asking is that should we strip the email in this case too? Probably just .split(' <')[0] would do for a basic check.

[XhmikosR]

Yes, we shouldn't show the email there.

[Juho Vepsäläinen]

Done.

Thanks!
