 The RSS 2.0 specification includes an optional <author> tag; see
 http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification#ltauthorgtSubelementOfLtitemgt

 My newsreader of choice, and I suspect some others, do take the author tag
 into account, but ignore the dc:creator tag. I therefore think it'd be
 nice to add the author tag, as it'll make feed output that much nicer for
 newsreaders and other RSS parsers.

 I attach a one-line patch doing this. Enjoy!
