As for the extensions, they are ZIP files and you can often (not always,
unfortunately) unzip them and find a README.txt file with author names
and contact details.

As for templates, the policy of templates.services.openoffice.org forces
some document properties to be filled in in the file itself before you
can upload a template. By inspecting the document properties, you will
find some details; the templates I uploaded are complete with contact
details, but I'm not sure about the rest.

I think it's smarter to actually inspect the file, because this way the
basic information is embedded in the template and is carried around
every time it is copied. This is one of the nice things that make
templates.services.openoffice.org an interesting site (just in terms of
underlying technology).
