A string containing the author's e-mail address. It can contain
|
||||
a name and e-mail address in the legal forms for a RFC-822
|
||||
``From:`` header. It's not optional because cataloging systems
|
||||
can use the e-mail portion of this field as a unique key
|
||||
representing the author. A catalog might provide authors the
|
||||
ability to store their GPG key, personal home page, and other
|
||||
additional metadata *about the author*, and optionally the
|
||||
ability to associate several e-mail addresses with the same
|
||||
person. Author-related metadata fields are not covered by this
|
||||
PEP.
