Yeah, in the truth, don't have file a lot for changes.

I understand that in the C side is already this way, but maybe we have a better
way for make this.

I'm think about this, and for me, the less the developer need a think about
"what field I need use in this problem" is better. This is not because is really
difficult think about "I need use author or authors", but if we can avoid, I
think that is better. 

Well .. that said, after your tips, I change my mind and how we don't have file
a lot for change the type authors, maybe the better way is a unique field
called "authors" and this should ever be array. 

If my module have a unique author, so `authors: ["author"]`, if the module have
two or more authors, so `authors: ["author_1", "author_2", "author_n"]`. With
this way, the module developers just have a one way to declare the author of
module. Don't have different fields, don't have different types. Have a only
one way for declare the authors of module.  

Thoughts? 
You think that we need open a chat in zulipchat for this, and collect more
opinions?
