CPMR0068 - Author Does Not Match Maintainer (nuspec)

WARNING

This rule has been marked as a Note

Notes typically flag things for both you and the reviewer to go over. Sometimes this is the use of things that may or may not be necessary given the constraints of what you are trying to do and/or are harder for automation to flag for other reasons. Items found in Notes might be Requirements depending on the context. A package version can be approved without addressing Note comments.

Issue

In the nuspec, the Package Maintainers (owners) and Software Authors (authors) fields are the same names, indicating that the same people or organization are responsible for both the package, and the software.

If the Package Maintainers and Software Authors are not the same people / organization, please update the owners and / or the authors field to the correct names. If the package is provided by the same peple or organization that provides the software, there is nothing that needs to be updated.

Reasoning

Chocolatey packages are typically created and maintained by Chocolatey Community Members, rather than Software Authors. Due to this, and to avoid the wrong metadata being published on the Chocolatey Community Repository, such packages are flagged at all times.
