Standardize and use author field in extension manifest

Reported by christop...@gmx.com, Jul 10 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.48 Safari/537.36 Vivaldi/1.3.532.9

Steps to reproduce the problem:
There's an "author" field in extension's manifest files. See https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/manifest

What is the expected behavior?
This field should actually have an impact.

I'd suggest using Mozilla's "developer" field structure (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Firefox_OS/Firefox_OS_apps/Building_apps_for_Firefox_OS/Manifest#developer), i.e. properties "name" and "url".
This should also be mentioned somewhere in the UI. If you don't want to clutter extension's page, add "by name" below the extension's name in its "Details" dialog.

What went wrong?
There's neither a standardized format nor is this field documented. There's also no gain at all specifying it.

Did this work before? No
