Hey,

First of all, I'd like to say the latest changes on MetaCPAN are great and you guys are doing an awesome job.

I've noticed the "and XXX contributors" on the distro page, under the author's icon. A feature that uses x_contributors in the META file.

It would be cool if that information also used the author META field.
Here's how the authorship is displayed for Test::Synopsis (https://metacpan.org/release/Test-Synopsis#authors) at the moment:
contrib
It looks like I am the main author, there are three contributors, and for a "strange reason" I am also listed as a contributor. Whom it _doesn't_ mention is the actual author of the module, Tatsuhiko Miyagawa, who is listed as the author in the POD as well as the META file: https://metacpan.org/source/ZOFFIX/Test-Synopsis-0.10/META.yml#L3

Would be cool to see this feature amended to be something like: "XXX contributors" (without the "and") and the expanded list include the author as well as x_contributors from META.

My 2 cents :)
