    This filter allows you to set subscribers as authors of blog posts within the admin without giving them additional privileges. Here’s the code:

    add_filter( 'wp_dropdown_users_args', 'add_subscribers_to_dropdown', 10, 2 );
function add_subscribers_to_dropdown( $query_args, $r ) {

    $query_args['who'] = '';
    return $query_args;

}

    In addition to Jonathan’s contribution, you can also expand it further by specifying the role. This is undocumented on wp codex. But does work e.g.

    function wpdocs_add_subscribers_to_dropdown( $query_args, $r ) {
 
	$query_args['role'] = array('contributor');

	// Unset the 'who' as this defaults to the 'author' role
	unset( $query_args['who'] );

	return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'wp_dropdown_users_args', 'wpdocs_add_subscribers_to_dropdown', 10, 2 );

    In addition to RiseOfLex88’s contribution, you can also specify multiple roles.

    function wpdocs_add_subscribers_to_dropdown( $query_args ) {

	// Use this array to specify multiple roles to show in dropdown
    $query_args['role__in'] = array( 'contributor', 'administrator' );

	// Use this array to specify multiple roles to hide in dropdown
    $query_args['role__not_in'] = array( 'editor' );

    // Unset the 'who' as this defaults to the 'author' role
    unset( $query_args['who'] );
 
    return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'wp_dropdown_users_args', 'wpdocs_add_subscribers_to_dropdown' );

    If you dump variable “$query_args” inside this function, this is what you will get:

    array(10) { 
  ["blog_id"]=> int(1) 
  ["include"]=> string(0) "" 
  ["exclude"]=> string(0) "" 
  ["orderby"]=> string(12) "display_name" 
  ["order"]=> string(3) "ASC" 
  ["who"]=> string(7) "authors" 
  ["role"]=> string(0) "" 
  ["role__in"]=> array(0) { } 
  ["role__not_in"]=> array(0) { } 
  ["fields"]=> array(3) { 
    [0]=> string(2) "ID" 
    [1]=> string(10) "user_login" 
    [2]=> string(12) "display_name" 
  } 
}
