API: Plugin Authors

Make sure you mention all the extra dependencies as peerDependencies in the package.json file.

The peerDependencies in the package.json is what gatsby-package-manager looks for. For example: The gatsby-plugin-mdx has defined two peerDependencies @mdx-js/mdx and @mdx-js/react which are required for the installation.
