PowerShellGet should provide easy access to PSGallery Owner #238

Open ghost opened 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

Users must go to the PowerShell Gallery to find out who published an item. That information is not in the package, or after installation, and is not available via the PowerShellGet cmdlets.

Expected Behavior

Find-Item -Owner PowerShellTeam Should result in listing all items published by the PowerShell Team

Current Behavior

This information is not readily available today

Context

PowerShellGet should easily provide any info that's on the PSGallery that users need to make a decision on what to trust, starting with the Owners (the folks who published the item).

It is not critical that the information be in the package, but if a user does install-module (or script) from the PowerShell Gallery, that information should be cached so I can do

Get-InstalledModule -Owner PowerShellTeam

NOTE: A separate issue is being filed to filter search results based on certificate/signing owner.

Want to "bump" this issue and get some feedback. Please "like" if having direct access to Owners in PowerShellGet would be useful to you.
