Maintainer not returned as author from DESCRIPTION with classic fields #114
Description
When reading description files with ‘Author’ and ‘Maintainer’ fields (but without ‘<Authors@R>’) and with roles specified in brackets, the maintainer/author is not returned as an author by get_author(s)().
Example from WRE (again without ‘<Authors@R>’):
library(desc)
d <- desc(text =
