Only values of the following attribute types can be safely read by and returned from scripts: .......

Limited support for Items

Currently there is no dedicated API to work with Items or Enumerations and scripts can only use the id of such attributes. If you need additional information, such as the name that corresponds to an Enumeration literal id, you can pass it to scripts using configuration parameters. See the Configuring additional script parameters section for more information.

A contributor is an item type and you need to set the ID of the item. The ID looks like "_SLSW8JQLEd-DaZzUk6UM4g" and can be obtained in the URI of the users user profile or using getValue() on an contributor attribute.

If you want to set a value to an attribute when saving a work item, you should use a Calculated Value provider. You script shown above is a Value Set provider, which provides a set of values for a certain attribute. I suggest you read through the below article and wiki to have better understanding the attribute customization topic.
