It seems that in this repository all the authors have been entered

I suppose I'm going to have to find a way to move all the authors into
contributor.author fields before any of this can work.
Hi Sean,
This is probably not a recommended way compared to e.g. CSV-files or
REST updates but if modifying the database directly is an option (e.g.
during a service break with backups in place just in case), the fastest
way to accomplish this would be a SQL update, e.g.
UPDATE metadatavalue SET metadata_field_id=[dc.contributor.author]
WHERE metadata_field_id=[dc.creator id];
where [...]s are numeric ids retrievable from the metadata registry
(e.g. in our database dc.contributor has id 1 and dc.contributor.author
has id 3).
Good luck,
Miika Nurminen
