This PR changes a bug in the plugin we use to generate RSS feeds. Long story short, the plugin extracts the author field from the page metadata. However as mentioned here, the RSS spec expects this to include an email address. This is sub-optimal because we don't want to force people to provide that. Additionally there is no way to turn this off in the plugin.
To get around this I've changed the author field to author_name. To facilitate this, I've modified our contributing docs to ensure there is a new template, modified our overrides to expect this new name, and gone through all the pages in the site and updated this.
While this is an inelegant solution, it solves the problem quickly and ensures we will have RSS support, which is a win :)
