Good point, there seems to be a discussion about this here as well: https://bugs.python.org/issue6992
It seems distutils itself doesn't really have an explicit solution for multiple authors/emails. I could attempt to parse the field by comma; though that would break packages that do "$surname, $firstname" (I didn't check but can imagine that could occur in some cases). But I agree that this is probably a good idea to implement.
I just released v0.3.5 which implements this.
Fantastic! Thank you very much @proycon!
It seems (though I haven't looked too deeply yet) that CodeMetaPy currently assumes that there is only a single author
https://github.com/proycon/codemetapy/blob/bbf2e574b63bc7c5a5df556dec42dcb876502442/codemeta/codemeta.py#L159-L161
which results in
Is it possible to try to determine if there are multiple authors present? We could alternatively try to reformat the way the authors are listed in the metadata, though I think that having them just be comma separated isn't too uncommon.
Please let me know if you'd like any help on this in anyway.
