Filled package.json uses authors instead of npm's author #21
fill_website_template writes the author into the site's package.json as "authors": {"name": ...}. npm's field is author (a string or a {name, email, url} object), so npm and npm-based tools ignore authors. When project.description isn't set, the template also gets "description": null.
Relevant code: website.py, lines 172–179.``
This has no visible effect on the static outputs today. It will matter for #14 (Electron): Electron Forge and electron-builder read author (and description) from package.json for installer metadata. The legacy Electron code on main set package_json["author"] (electron.py).
Expected behavior: write author instead, and leave description out (or set it to an empty string) when it's unset.
Found while reviewing PR #7, toolchain at ce12c48.
