 Please consider adding the `Author URI` field from a theme's `style.css`
 to the WP.org API's theme related endpoints (`query_themes` and
 `theme_information` actions), either as a standalone `author_uri` field,
 or as a subfield of the `author` associative array that is returned when
 `request[fields][extended_author]=1` is set.

 This would help in writing clients that provide theme information gathered
 from the WP.org theme showcase, as e.g. the Calypso theme showcase (see
 https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/pull/11089#issuecomment-281374156
 for some background, and note that both the WP.com showcase and Jetpack's
 theme related endpoints return that field).
