jekyll-feed: Site author does not utilize author reference
Going through lib/feed.xml I noticed it generates the feed’s main author tag only from author data set in the main config. Would there be any benefit to adding support for using data in a _data/authors.yml file to reduce the duplication of data that could potentially be out of sync?
If it would be worth it I’d be happy to make a pull request.

I worry we have let Perfect become the enemy of Good here. Let’s first modify the plugin to support author references like jekyll-seo-tag, duplicating a lot of the code and doing a lot of crazy logic in Liquid. Then, once we have everything working the way we want and strong tests to ensure that everything is working properly, we can work on extracting some of the logic into a shared plugin.
