Hydra can do this, it's just a matter of extracting the authors & mail
addresses and adding them to the `meta' property of the package.

Sorry, forgot to mention this: Nix includes some Emacs packages which
are maintained by hand. I decided to keep them for legacy. They have a
lower priority when installing compared to package.el packages, so
keeping them won't hurt (package.el packages will always override them).
