New description:

 In `wp-admin/themes.php`, the template prints `&` to the screen if
 there's an ampersand in the author name (multiple theme authors using "&"
 instead of "and".

 Tested in trunk after THX38, not sure if it was in there before. #24775
 references a similar issue.

 Changing from `{{ data.author }}` to `{{{ data.author }}}` fixes the issue
 when displaying the theme details overlay.
