 > Isn't that possible with the Plugin Author field?

 Nope, the `Plugin Author` field are these two lines from the readme.txt:
 https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/debug-bar/tags/0.8.4/debug-
 bar.php?marks=6,8 - There's no ability to link that to a user profile (in
 this case the name matches a WordPress.org username, but that's in the
 minority).

 Where as the `By: WordPress.org, Ryan Boren, Peter Westwood, koopersmith,
 Jon Cave, and others.` line on the existing directory is from this line:
 https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/debug-
 bar/tags/0.8.4/readme.txt?marks=2 (Each of which is a WordPress.org
 username, which has a profile, and is listed as the 'Authors' in the
 directory).

 Personally, I think it should be the `Plugin Author` field and we live
 with the fact it doesn't have an archive ability attached to it. Probably
 best to strip out the off-site link there though too.
