You could query the NuGet API:

function Get-PackageAuthors {
    param (
        [Parameter(
            Mandatory = $true,
            ValueFromPipeline = $true,
            ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true
        )]
        [string]$Id,

        [Uri]$Url = "https://api-v2v3search-0.nuget.org"
    )
    process {
        $response = Invoke-RestMethod "${Url}query?q=${Id}&take=1"
        if ($response.totalHits -gt 0) {
            return $response.data.authors
        }
    }
}

# usage:
Get-Package | Get-PackageAuthors
