Comment:

 In [changeset:"5204"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="5204"
 Plugin Directory: Use the `Author` and `Author URI` plugin headers in the
 API response instead of the original plugin submitters details.
 This doesn't change `author_profile` which still references the original
 uploaders profile, as it always has. This field doesn't appear to be used
 by WordPress though.

 Props obenland for initial patch.
 Fixes #2585.
