Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Looking at [5286], it changed the format of `$compat_object` for plugins,
 but didn't change the cache group.

 Previously, `$this->plugin` didn't have an `ID` field, so it might be
 possible that `$this->plugin->ID` in `::get_authors()` and
 `::get_contributors()` is empty for plugins that still have previous
 values in cache.

 Clearing the `plugin-objects` cache group or changing its name in
 `::get_object_by_slug_and_type()` should resolve this.

 On a related note, is there a reason why we're using direct queries
 instead of `WP_Query`?
