Need to fix authors with no assigned role

[MirandaEcho]

There are 374 authors with no assigned role, so they cannot be added as authors right now. Solutions?

Since we can't do an import from users -> CAP authors through any sort of editor, I think our only solutions would be to:

• write a script that loops through all 374 authors with no role and recreate them as CAP authors

or

• create a new user role with specific capabilities that they want

or

• assign these 374 users to an existing role

@joshdarby estimate for the first option? Ideally we're able to do something that won't email a bunch of folks that no longer work there or don't need access to the site

@MirandaEcho 2-4ish hours?
