Comment:

 The extended author data returns user_nicename and displayname of the
 owning account from WordPress.org itself, so extended_author makes no
 sense for this.

 However, it would be relatively easy to add the author_url as a standalone
 field. It would be something like `request[fields][author_url]=1` instead.
