 Replying to [comment:4 dd32]:
 > The plugin authors have included an `Author: @wordpressdotorg` field in
 the readme, but that's not a valid readme field, so it's ignored. Only
 `Contributors:` affects anything.

 That's interesting, as the `wordpressdotorg` user was originally
 displayed!

 And the README Validator also throws warnings when `@` is included

 > "''One or more contributors listed were ignored. The Contributors field
 should only contain WordPress.org usernames. Remember that usernames are
 case-sensitive.''"

 - https://wordpress.org/plugins/developers/readme-validator/
 - https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/create-block-theme/trunk/readme.txt

 Once you remove the `@` symbol from the usernames the validator doesn't
 display any warnings

 p.s The `chaosexanima` user doesn't exist, so this user needs to be
 removed from the list to pass validation
