I would propose a change to output `first author` if present else `first editor` if present. As mentioned in bpiwowar#116 (and forgotten so long, till an update broke my own crude changes : ) ) sometimes there are publications, where we want to acknowledge the editorship of a work, without the need to fill the `author` field. For this to work, we could have a new entry `firsteditorauthor` (or any better name), that gives the first author where possible, or in case of nil it would search for the first editor. thanks

Hi there and thanks for papercite,
for some bibtex entries
author = {}is optional and only the fieldeditor = {Hans Dampf}is used.The sort order relies heavily on
author, so should be adapted to useeditoras substitute.if author is empty but editor is not empty use editor instead for further use.
