Description

In ​r16906 a set is used for the author parameter. This renders poorly on the plugin admin page. We could add support for iterables and show all authors, or just the first author in the iterable.

I haven't looked at whether setuptools supports or discourages uses of an iterable for the author parameter of setup.

I think we cannot enhance it. setuptools with multiple authors specified doesn't support. 

$ python setup.py egg_info
running egg_info
writing dependency_links to ContextChrome.egg-info/dependency_links.txt
writing ContextChrome.egg-info/PKG-INFO
writing top-level names to ContextChrome.egg-info/top_level.txt
writing entry points to ContextChrome.egg-info/entry_points.txt
reading manifest file 'ContextChrome.egg-info/SOURCES.txt'
writing manifest file 'ContextChrome.egg-info/SOURCES.txt'
$ grep '^Author:' ContextChrome.egg-info/PKG-INFO
Author: set(['Ryan J Ollos', 'MATOBA Akihiro'])
