Why is author object collapsed to a string

[adius]

Why is

"author": {
    "name": "Martti Malmi",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "url": "https://github.com/mmalmi"
}

replaced with

 "author": "Martti Malmi <[email protected]> (https://github.com/mmalmi)"

I think it should be the other way round! ^^

Hey @adius,

I was expecting the same thing as you, that the author attributes would be split out. I had a look through the code history and its been this way since Jun 17, 2012 so its not a bug.
