Is there any support for SEO Authorship with Discourse

[Gummba]

Does Discourse adds metadata to users to identify them? For SEO purposes, authorship is important (see Google Authorship: Is It Still Important for SEO?).

Is it possible to add the schema.org property ‘author’ to the profile of users (author - Schema.org Property)?

Here’s a snippet from this very topic (when using Googlebot as a user agent)

<script type="application/ld+json">
