Remove <author>

FWIW, +1 to this issue. Echoing #13, I'm validating a feed built with this module at https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi and getting this:

This feed does not validate.
line 2, column 1018: Undefined channel element: author [help]

The help link is a page that says:

Your feed contains an element that this validator does not recognize in this context.

I think the W3 RSS validator should be considered fairly authoritative for a "standard spec" on RSS feeds...

I looked briefly at the MR, which mostly looks good. Since 🐛 Missing schema for views style and row Fixed just landed (yay! 🎉), we need to update the config schema to match the renamed option here.

Author mentioned on #12 refers to the item, and we're removing it from the channel, so I think we're good.
We already have an itunes:author_field, so removing the other one rather than renaming it.

Merged, thanks all

Thanks for merging this!

Alas that the commit message was only: "Remove author" since there's now nothing to help people looking at commit 9759130c get back to this issue.

I messed up the commit message :(, apologies about that, I've tried to rename the commit but haven't been able because it's tied to a release. Wondering if I should revert and re-commit with the nice commit message I had before squashing in the gitlab ui?

Mistakes happen, no worries. 😅 Yeah, the main repos do not allow forced push. I suppose a revert and a re-commit with a proper message would work well, if you're up for it.

Thanks again!
