Comment (by joneiseman):

 The process used on the website is that the Editor or Administrator
 creates the posts on behalf of the Contributors and then uses the pulldown
 to select the Author. The Contributors actually never log in, they just
 send in the post to the Editor or Administrator. There is no need to give
 the edit_posts capability to Contributors.
