Hi @j0hax and thanks for this. Could you provide some literature on the relevance of the author tag? I could not find anything of note with a simple search.

Hi! According to W3C, author is a standard name for the <meta> tag:

The value must be a free-form string giving the name of one of the page's authors.

More examples from around the web:

I believe that providing machine-readable metadata about the author can improve user experience in e.g. reader views or social share previews.
