[R-pkg-devel] ORCID disappearing in auto-generated Authors: field?

[Ben Bolker]

 I'm getting this NOTE on r-hub's linux-x86_64-ubuntu-gcc platform. It
seems weird because the Author field was automatically derived from
Authors using R (there is no Author: field in the DESCRIPTION file ...)

  I think I'm going to write this off as a glitch (I haven't seen it on
my own Linux or MacOS systems, or travis, or win-builder ...), but has
anyone seen it before?  Am I doing something silly?
