 WP_User_Query uses

 {{{
  if ( isset( $qv['who'] ) && 'authors' == $qv['who'] && $blog_id ) {
     $qv['meta_key'] = $wpdb->get_blog_prefix( $blog_id ) . 'user_level';
     $qv['meta_value'] = 0;
      $qv['meta_compare'] = '!=';
     $qv['blog_id'] = $blog_id = 0; // Prevent extra meta query
 }
 }}}

 When PREFIX_user_level is deprecated. A better check is checking to see if
 that user has the ability to edit_posts, as that would be one who can
 write.
