Thanks for the PR!

then instead of showing nothing for the author I have added the name of the alphabetically first author's name.

I think this might be confusing because it shows a user who isn't the actual user who created the post (super admin).

I'd like to suggest an alternative approach. See the comment here for more details.

Sorry I just saw the comment on the PR now, and I added the name of the alphabetically first author's name because in the previous versions if a super admin created a post then it showed alphabetically first author's name as the author, so to maintain consistency I did the same.

Oh, I didn't know that. Do you know in which version of WordPress this issue first occurred?

No I don't have idea in which WordPress version this first occurred.

Sorry for the late reply.

To fundamentally solve this problem, I think some kind of work needs to be done on the core side. See this comment for details.

Closing as not applicable. Displaying the first author instead of the actual post author is misleading.

As noted in discussion this requires resolution on the REST API side.
