I just created GitHub issue 200 that covers publisher authorities: https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/issues/200
It's not as easy as it looks, I think, because selecting the correct authority (like you select an author in editing a work) requires a Solr engine for the publisher names. And to build an authority file we need rules (what is a publisher? do we want "printed by ..." to count as publisher, or will we create a printer authority as well, while we're at it?) The "add a field to records" part is trivial for OpenLibrary.
