 Patch tested: [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/3469 PR
 3469]

 === Steps to Reproduce or Test
 1. Create a new user with the `Editor` role.
 2. Navigate to `Pages > Add New` and create a page.
 3. Navigate to `Pages > All pages`.
 4. Click `Quick Edit` for the new page.
 5. Select the new `Editor` user as the ''Author'' of the page.
 6. Navigate to `Users > All Users`.
 7. Click `Edit` for the `Editor` user and change their role to
 `Subscriber`.
 8. Navigate to `Pages > All pages`.
 9. 🐞 Click `Quick Edit` for the new page.

 === Expected Results
 When reproducing a bug:
 - ❌ The ''Author'' `<select>` element should be blank.

 When testing a patch to validate it works as expected:
 - ✅ The ''Author'' `<select>` element should show the author's name.

 === Environment
 * Server: Apache (Linux)
 * WordPress: 6.2-alpha-54642-src
 * Browser: Chrome 108.0.0.0
 * OS: Windows 10
 * Theme: Twenty Twenty-Three
 * Plugins: None Activated.

 === Actual Results
 When reproducing a bug/defect:
 - ❌ Issue reproduced.

 When testing the patch:
 - ✅ Issue resolved with patch.

 === Notes
 - I did test this with a custom post type as well. However, the original
 issue didn't occur.
