Description Mark Holmquist 2013-12-19 00:57:55 UTC 
This could solve multiple issues, actually:

1. We currently credit the latest uploader in the API return values. That's not really sound given our community's practices about uploads. So we can use the user page of the very first uploader instead of the last one.

2. I can't construct a User: page link from foreign DB repo info, because it only returns a descBaseUrl value, which isn't helpful for constructing User: links, only for File: links.

Easy to do, could be a GCI task if there still aren't enough of those.
