[Nix-dev] Meta info

How about adding two optional meta fields. One for the author of the
software package, and one for the package maintainer (if he/she is
known)? E.g.

meta = {
		softwareAuthor    = "John Price";
		packageMaintainer = "Jonathan Helper";
  };

I suppose we can do without - in a way that can be better too -
though I think the author deserves credit. Adding the maintainer
helps users of the packages to quickly find the right person ;-).

Like I say: optional.
