If the author does not want to publish his mail address but only his name, the tag cannot be used according to the RSS 2.0 spec. It is recommended to use the tag if only the name is given.

FeedEntry.author() is adjusted to use the __rss_dcCreator value instead of __rss_author if the "email" key is not set.

DublinCore is not and should not be part of the core feed. You can already set DC elements as Feed attributes if you use the dublincore extension:

fg.load_extension('dc')
fg.dc.dc_creator('Lars Kiesow'
