It's supposed to do it by default.  I just tried it on
http://neil.eton.ca/wiki/ and it worked for me -- I edited WikiSandbox
(entering an author name), saved the page, closed the browser, returned
to edit the sandbox and my author name was already filled in for me.

If you want to require authors to always enter a name, set
$EnablePostAuthorRequired = 1; .
