RSS feature request: Show author/creator names

I am missing how BitBot was showing names of people who wrote the articles, they seem to be either in <author> or <dc:creator> tags.

You should be abl to use $author in plugins.RSS.format or plugins.RSS.announceFormat

Thanks, $author seems to be undocumented in the config helps. However specifying it breaks feeds that don't have author information.
