 Hello

 The author dropdown in page settings is not working correctly in block
 editor. It doesn't check user capabilities.

 Here is the steps to replicate
 - Install a fresh WP
 - Create a contributor user so you will have 2 user 1 admin and 1
 contributor
 - Create a page in Classic Editor
 - You will see it is showing only admin user in Author change dropdown
 because contributor doesn't have edit_pages capability
 - Create a page in Block Editor
 - Go to author change dropdown, you will see contributor user as well.

 Which looks a bug to me. We need to make sure that there is a capability
 check.
