Optional field for plugin author

• Yes, I reviewed the contribution guidelines.

Describe your use case and the problem you are facing

It would be helpful to have an option to list the plugin author. For an example, an agency is asking for a list of plugins on one of the sites I maintain. I thought that I'd try using wp-cli to quickly get a CSV of all the active plugins. However, several plugins that were created internally and do not have great names or descriptions, but the author was set as a unique internal name. Without the author listed, I still have to go through the list and define which ones were created internally.

Edit: Updated use case. I wrote a sloppy original description because I was in a hurry.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an optional field to list the plugin author.
