PackageAuthor is a datatype for contact information about the author of a package.

This datatype is used by the datatype, Package2, which is used by several datatypes — primarily by PackageInstallation, InstallPackageFromRegistryResult, and PackageUpdateResult. The first of those is used by the mutations related to alerts, actions, dashboard, etc. The other two are used by the installPackageFromRegistryV2() and updatePackageFromRegistryV2() mutation fields.
