Readwise Reader saves do not contain the correct author #2739

I'm not sure whether this issue is on the Miniflux side or the Readwise side, but: when using the "save" feature on an article in Miniflux, the resulting saved article in Readwise Reader only contains the site URL where the author should be. In all cases, the correct specific author is shown in Miniflux, but the author field turns into the root site URL in the saved article.

Again, this might be on the Readwise side, but I figured it's also worth raising here, in case Readwise has control over the author field being sent to Readwise through their API.

This is most likely a parsing issue on Readwise side. As of today, Miniflux sends only the article URL to Readwise (not the author).

https://github.com/miniflux/v2/blob/cb97d4a1a876656b73a5db0cc28e6842e39f61f0/internal/integration/readwise/readwise.go#L67-L69

Readwise API has an author field: https://readwise.io/reader_api, so with some refactoring efforts, Miniflux could send the correct article author.
