Suggestion: Treat ", " as "&" in Author input field.

Hi. At the moment Calibre-web requires multiple author names separated by & in author input field. Most of the websites online separates multiple authors by ", ". This may be a big problem with story anthologies, which often have 10+ different authors and i cannot just copy and paste all names. It would be nice, if Calibre-web would interpret commas in same way as &.

I think this could create a lot of problems. Commas are already used when authors are listed as "Lastname, Firstname". Use of "&" to denote additional authors is pretty standard, particularly in calibre itself.

I agree with @jeff47. One thing I could offer is: Create a button beside the switch title and author button to replace , with & Sorry for my paint skills

That would be awesome!

Just wanted to check if this is still in the roadmap? Also a suggestion, the small button could be placed to the right of author input field
