Feature Request

Hi all,

Been creating a couple scripts to spin up development environments automatically using poetry in the terminal.

Noticed that there is no --authors flag for poetry init and poetry init --author doesn't seem to accept lists no matter how I seem to input it, figured it'd be a pretty quick implementation to allow some sort of delimiter to input more than one author at a time or add any existing solutions to this issue into the docs.

All the best,
Frankie

Research direction

Start by reproducing poetry init --author on Windows and inspect the CLI handling for the author option. Define how multiple authors should be entered, then verify that the command accepts them consistently and update the relevant documentation if that is the chosen scope.
