@armijnhemel which branch or release are you using? I added a test and it works in develop and should be the same for master

[pombredanne]

@armijnhemel my bad... this is detected as as an author and these authors are NOT reported!!!

[pombredanne]

let me fix this quick

[armijnhemel]

Yeah, this is on 'develop'.

[pombredanne]

@armijnhemel This should be fixed in develop now. Thank++ for the report!

      "authors": [
        "Authors Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>"
      ],

Should 'Authors' be there or is it directly copied from the source code (and if so, why is the : missing? )

Authors is taken from the code, but eventually this should go away. And this would make the missing colon moot.
