 That's fair, but everywhere else that we use the "full" name we use either
 of them, accounting for the fact there's not really anything "full" about
 having both.

 But you're right, if `wp_list_authors()` was just showing "John" for
 multiple people it'd be impossible to tell them apart. That'll probably be
 fixed in the future by something like Select2 where multiple pieces of
 info can be displayed at the same time.
 I guess we'll skip it from `wp_list_authors()` for now and just go with
