When looking at a retweet in either mf2-json or html it looks like post by another user

[EdwardHinkle]

This is confusing as you don't understand why it's there. A retweet should instead be an entry with a repost-of. With the top author being the retweeter and the inner author being the original tweeter.

Here is an example feed: https://granary.io/twitter/travishinkle/@self/@app/?format=mf2-json&access_token_key=X&access_token_secret=X

The author of the feed is @travishinkle and he retweeted a user (philipnation). There is a retweet on that feed that looks like this:
{ "type": [ "h-entry" ], "properties": { "url": [ "https://twitter.com/philipnation/status/951568325338976256" ], "content": [ { "html": "Prayer is not a spiritual discipline that is separate from the mission of God. It is a discipline by which the Spirit will lead us to our role in the mission of God.", "value": "Prayer is not a spiritual discipline that is separate from the mission of God. It is a discipline by which the Spirit will lead us to our role in the mission of God." } ], "published": [ "2018-01-11T21:35:42+00:00" ], "uid": [ "tag:twitter.com:951568325338976256" ], "author": [ { "type": [ "h-card" ], "properties": { "uid": [ "tag:twitter.com:philipnation" ], "url": [ "http://philipnation.net/my-books/" ], "photo": [ "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/763802468035727360/gV0sNGNo.jpg" ], "numeric-id": [ "71554731" ], "location": [ { "type": [ "h-card", "p-location" ], "properties": { "name": [ "Bradenton, FL" ] } } ], "published": [ "2009-09-04T14:59:14+00:00" ], "nickname": [ "philipnation" ], "name": [ "Philip Nation" ] } } ] } },

thanks for filing! agreed, repost-of would be nice.

for the record, the current markup definitely does visibly include philiphinkle (and not aaronpk) as the author:

<article class="h-entry">
  ...
  <span class="p-author h-card">
    <data class="p-uid" value="tag:twitter.com:philipnation"></data>
    <data class="p-numeric-id" value="71554731"></data>
    <a class="p-name u-url" href="http://philipnation.net/my-books/">Philip Nation</a>
    <span class="p-nickname">philipnation</span>
    <img class="u-photo" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/763802468035727360/gV0sNGNo.jpg" alt="" />
  </span>

  <a class="u-url" href="https://twitter.com/philipnation/status/951568325338976256">https://twitter.com/philipnation/status/951568325338976256</a>
  <div class="e-content p-name">
  Prayer is not a spiritual discipline that is separate from the mission of God. It is a discipline by which the Spirit will lead us to our role in the mission of God.
  </div>
</article>

if anything, the current atom code is more broken here. it still (loosely) says aaron is the author. from https://granary.io/twitter/aaronpk/@self/@app/?format=atom&access_token_key=... :

<entry>
<author>
 <activity:object-type>http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/person</activity:object-type>

Correct, the mf2 isn’t broken in the sense that it displays the wrong author, just that you lose why it’s in your timeline when you don’t follow the author

deployed a fix. thanks again for filing.

also, i misspoke, the atom is ok, the content is rendered eg:

RT @philipnation Prayer is not a spiritual discipline that is separate from...

so it's appropriate that it still lists travishinkle as the author.

Looks great! The mf2 text content even ends up putting “RT @-mention text”. Thanks so much!
