I would like to use scribal abbreviations of the works of Aristotle (e. g. NE or EE), but the author (Aristotle), who may not specifically named or cited, should automatically appear in the Index of Persons every time I use the acronym (like citations if one uses the indexing=cite option in biblatex). So the individual acronyms of the works of Aristotle should appear under the index entry "Aristotle", but other acronyms should not appear in the index.

So here is a MWE, perhaps somebody has an idea - would be great!

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{scrreport}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[natbib=true,backend=biber,style=authoryear]{biblatex}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{acronym}
\usepackage{csquotes}

\usepackage{imakeidx}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeindex[columns=2,title=Titelregister]
\makeindex[columns=2,name=personenregister,title=Index of Persons]
\makeindex[columns=2,name=sachregister,title=Index of Subjects]
\DeclareIndexNameFormat{default}{%
\usebibmacro{index:name}{\index[personenregister]}
{\namepartfamily}
{\namepartgiven}
{\namepartprefix}
{\namepartsuffix}}

\begin{document}

\chapter*{Scribal Abbreviations}
\begin{acronym}[SIP]
 \acro{SIP}{\textit{Super Important Problem}} 
  \acro{EE}{\textit{Eudemian Ethics}}. 
  \acro{NE}{\textit{Nicomachean Ethics}}. 
\end{acronym}

It's not too hard with acro instead of acronym (if you don't mind switching packages):

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{scrreport}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage{acro}
\usepackage{csquotes}

\usepackage{imakeidx}
\makeindex[columns=2,name=personenregister,title=Index of Persons]

\acsetup{
  use-id-as-short ,
  format/long = \itshape ,
  index/use = true ,
  index/cmd = \index[personenregister]
}

\DeclareAcronym{SIP}{long=Super Important Problem,no-index}
\DeclareAcronym{EE}{long=Eudemian Ethics,index=Aristotle} 
\DeclareAcronym{NE}{long=Nicomachean Ethics,index=Aristotle}


\begin{document}

\chapter*{Scribal Abbreviations}
\printacronyms[heading = none]
