Feed items should display original author alongside feed title
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Currently the Planet feed uses its own name as the feed title, and the name of a specific subfeed as the author of a post. This means that blogs that are already multi-author (like Diff, WM:TECHBLOG, etc.) lose the information about the posts' actual authors when consumed via the Planet.

It would be nice if the original author was displayed next to the source feed name in the feed items' metadata.

For example, this post appears in my RSS feed reader with the subheading

From Planet Wikimedia by [[WM:TECHBLOG]] on Jan 16, 2024

whereas I would expect something like this:

From [[WM:TECHBLOG]] via Planet Wikimedia by Derick Alangi and Timo Tijhof on Jan 16, 2024

or this:
