Consider getting rid of author information and name in KPackageStructure json files
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

AFAICS we read those values nowhere. Usually the KPackage pluginsystem has it's own documentation page, meaning that it is unlikely that we will ever have user-visible info in those json files.

Removing those would significantly clean up the file size, thus binary size and json parsing at runtime. Any objections?

that's needed in the pacgages metadata itself, but probably yeah, not needed in the package structure metadata itself, I wouldn't oppose that

I have done MRs in plasma-frameworks, plasma-workspace, kdeplasma-addons and now in KWin too. That should cover it all.
