I think that'd be contingent on devportal passing it through to
Software Centre, and Software Centre passing it to the Index.  That
could be done as a distinct field, or we could pass the developer's
name in the Company Name field if no Company Name is specified - there
are trade-offs between purity of the data and the amount of work
required in each component, but either way is technically possible.
