Given that you seem to really want to do this, use bulk metadata edit search/replace. The steps:
- Make a backup of your library in case things go very wrong
- Select the books for which you want to copy publisher to author
- Press E to get bulk edit
- Click on the Search/Replace tab
- Change the Search mode to Regular Expression
- Select Publisher as the search field
- Enter "(.*)" into Search for, without the quotes
- Enter "\1" into Replace with, without the quotes
- Change the destination field to Authors
- Uncheck the box Split result
- Take a look at the test results to be sure you are happy
- Press OK.
Do note that there is no undo. Once you press OK or Apply, you will not be able to recover the author information that the above process just overwrote.
