As designed, the author property in Microsub only allows for a single author. Many items in feeds have multiple authors.

Would like to allow for this somehow.

Not exactly the same, but related: #13

Can you provide examples of feeds with multiple authors?

A use case that was mentioned by multiple people are paper feeds from Arxiv: http://front.math.ucdavis.edu/atom/cs.AR

Some Podcast feeds use the atom contributor field, which may or may not make sense to map to mf2 author, e.g. the one from https://logbuch-netzpolitik.de/ (I assume this data is added by the WP plugin they use, which is quite popular with German-speaking podcasts)

Articles from bigger publications referenced in properties (reply/bookmark/like) possibly have multiple authors - here it depends on the exact details of the reply-context extraction if this information makes it through.
