Comment:

 For future posts, it seems to me that easiest would be simply to add
 `post_author` to the versioned fields in `_wp_post_revision_fields()`, and
 then the existing post author would be saved rather than the current one.
 But in that function it says for `post_author`:

 `// WP uses these internally either in versioning or elsewhere - they
 cannot be versioned`

 Why?
