Addiing "Editor" to list of contributors.

"Editor" in both fiction and non-fiction is probably the most commonly used contributor in book data after author. When entering a new book manually it would be incredibly helpful to be able to tag a contributor as "Editor." I manually add a lot of academic non-fiction books.

I'd also really love this so that the primary editor of a literary magazine I read doesn't show up on my 'most read authors'!
Agreed! This would also be super helpful for anthologies where the primary "creator" is, indeed, the editor, not the authors included. I have had to manually and individually report missing authors for multiple anthologies and the librarians tend to implement those requests inconsistently so having this would help with that problem as well.
