Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Thank you for providing and maintaining react-hook-form! We're using this component in some applications which we are scanning with https://github.com/oss-review-toolkit/ort to create a complete SBOM of dependencies. However, the scan currently fails due to a missing name in the package.json's author field, thus blocking us from creating a proper NOTICE file for our application.

Describe the solution you'd like
The package.json's author field should be enriched with a meaningful name, i.e. Name <mail@domain.org>. See https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/configuring-npm/package-json#people-fields-author-contributors for details on the author field.

Possible solution which would help us:

"author": "Beier(Bill) Luo <bluebill1049@hotmail.com>",

or

"author": "BEEKAI <bluebill1049@hotmail.com>",

Describe alternatives you've considered
This could be also fixed by making the name field in https://github.com/oss-review-toolkit/ort optional and subsequently adding a proper name via local package curations, but I would like to first discuss with you whether you can address this problem directly within this project.

Additional context
I'm aware that there is no issue on your end, but enhancing the author field would really help us completing the SBOM scanning for our projects depending on react-hook-form. Thank you for any help!
