Description
**What would you like to be added**:
Parameter or configuration to add and set metadata > authors > name / email in SBOM in CycloneDX format.
I was actually looking for this ability in the parameter and configuration options but did not find any. Please let me know if I am wrong.
**Why is this needed**:
To automatically include required metadata in CycloneDX format when generating SBOM.
**Additional context**:
Based on CycloneDX schema, it should look like this:
"metadata": {
"authors":{
"name": "Name"
"email": "email@email.com"
}
}

Research direction
Start by locating Syft's CycloneDX SBOM generation and the parameter or configuration handling for output metadata. Verify the requested author name and email appear under metadata in generated CycloneDX output and match the CycloneDX schema; no file or test location is identified in the issue.
