That's another part. But for "author", I think we should support it in
the generic part of the VC code. After all, it's a concept we've been
using in ChangeLog for ages: the fact that only recent VCS support it is
no excuse ;-)

Fine by me. But please remember that whenever possible and meaningful,
it's better to add features to vc.el than to particular backends.
