For some reason, the common parser sets the original_author for each item in the feed to be the title of the feed. This, to me, makes no sense. I have prepared a 2-line patch that instead uses the per-item author attribute. This may need to be extended to fall back to the feed author if there is no author attribute for the item. I've attached the patch for review.
