Comment (by hallsofmontezuma):

 On the "View details" link in plugins.php, in addition to the author being
 wrong (it's the original submitter of the plugin rather than the current
 author) the link also goes to the wrong website.

 It's also incorrect on plugin-install.php, but presumably that info comes
 from the same place.

 Interestingly, at https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/simplemap/,
 the author URL is correct, and the author name, but not the author
 profile.
