This chat bubble (screen 1) above other heads cannot be done by addons as far as I know. It will only be shown if other players write something and you have enabeld the chat bubbles.
So an addon is not able to produce this chat bubble with the name (or "Addon author") of the other player above his head.

The text shown at screen 2 is changeable though, or at least you can add additional icons and text and position it next to the name. You need to hover the reticle mouse cursor above the player, as I said before.
But then you can see the name + additional information that an addon provides you.
This is how e.g. the addon "TargetLookup" works, check it out.
It will show you the player's character class and the fraction information as icons.

If you want to show if the player you hover the reticle over is an addon author you need to store the information about the addon authors somewhere! There is no database that the game can use to see if some account or playername is an addon author.
You need to collect these information ("@account_name", "player name") manually and someone needs to put them into a table in an addon and then show the information at the reticle for you.

Perhaps you can talk to the addon author of "TargetLookup" or "rainbowReticle" if they can add such a request for you.
