 Hi! Author/User pages in WordPress are from the dark ages and badly need
 some changes.

 Firstly, the public URL shows the email or login username in it (which is
 a security hazard), and I can't see any way to fix that other than
 installing yet another plugin (https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-
 reviews/edit-author-slug?filter=5). Author URL's should be able to be
 customized on the user's page.

 Secondly, author pages should have their bio, photo, links, etc at the top
 of the page.

 Thirdly, it should be allowable to have multiple authors (or at least two)
 for a post.
