get authors of a text file

I want to get the author attribute of the loaded file. tried attribute(filename(), author()), it doesn't work.

there is a macro that does the work, but it seems cumbersome to use macro for something supposedly straightforward.

you could used filesize() to get the size of loaded file, no equivalent of authors?  author() returns null. there is definitely value in the author for the file.

any suggestion?
