[MetaCPAN] Uploading author meta data

[Randy Stauner]

We currently have someone working on an OpenID option,
so maybe that will work for you in the future.

We don't have the author.json files in the repo anymore, but I think we
still process them if upload one to your PAUSE directory.  I updated the
wiki page to try to be a little more clear.

You can download your current author json from
http://api.metacpan.org/author/$PAUSEID
