On your generated documentation, could you please use the author instead of the maintainer for the "by line" on your pages?

A collaborator stumbled upon your web site and was confused:

I just looked again and it is not quite what I thought. You are not listed as the author; it is just that the online documentation lists the package as being "by Neal Fultz" at the top of the page. (See e.g., here: https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/stat.extend/versions/0.1.1 - it is also the same for the pages for individual functions). It might just be because you were the one that uploaded it. If you scroll down the page you will see that there is also a link to me below listed under "Contributors". Ideally, it would be great if the linked name at the top of these pages could list us both (e.g., "by Ben O'Neill and Neal Fultz). Anyway, I'm not sure how hard that is to change, but I'll let you have a look.

If this is easy to fix by editing some metadata, please let me know - our DESCRIPTION is at
