 I find it really annoying to have the Author Dropdown in its own Metabox,
 there is really no good reason for this I find it annoying that I have to
 turn it on every installation I make and drag it to the sidebar.

 I would very much like to see this integrated into the Publish Metabox
 below the Status Field and should default to the current user how it
 currently does.

 Unless Wordpress is considering allowing you to tag the current page with
 multiple Authors but I think until it has that functionality the dropbox
 would be better suited in the Publish Metabox rather than a Metabox of its
 own
