Customizing the /author/{slug}/rss template

Themes
1

I’m trying to set a custom template to be used for the author and tag rss feeds. This doesn’t work but is what I’m trying to accomplish

routes:
  /author/{slug}/rss/:
    template: rss
    content_type: text/xml
  /tag/{slug}/rss/:
    template: rss
    content_type: text/xml

I’ve successfully customized the homepage rss using the rss guide and a custom route and custom template but I cannot figure out a way to customize the author and tag rss templates.

I’m trying to hide certain tags from my author and tag rss feeds. If there is another way to do this instead of customizing the author and tag rss templates, that would work too.
