The author/maintainer distinction problem (and PEP 621)

[pradyunsg (Pradyun Gedam)]

Add an equivalent maintainers field to mirror authors but keep the proposed semantics otherwise as-is?

Yup. I think that sounds fair.

We should also remove the “This use of the field is a slight deviation” paragraph, and add a note to the Rejected Ideas section about this.
