Hello Sören,
A request to add the authors name to the RSS feeds. When viewing the Rss Feed in my RSS Reader I would like to see the name of the person who wrote that message. This also helps in finding messages.
Here is some more info. The only way to get to show the author is by specifying type=atom in the feeds url. Have tried it in 4 different RSS readers and all behave the same. Another user on the IRC room, confirmed he does not see the authors name in RSS either.
This is what rss produces:

This is what atom produces:

See the difference and as to why atom does show the author. Still I consider the rss to have a bug as it does not show the author. Used Firefox to see the contents of the RSS feeds. When using atom to see the feeds, html code like " is not substituted :-(
