missing field `authors`

I had to rename `author` and turn it into an array, maybe that can be supported?

As far as I can tell, the official field name is a plural authors: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html#the-authors-field

Hi @fosskers! autors field is deprecated: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html#the-authors-field
maybe another way to link authors?

When creating a debian package, under package.metadata.deb, it is possible to have a maintainer field. Perhaps something similar could be used here?
