 Severity:  normal          |    Keywords:  RSS, import, author

 RSS.php import defaults the $post_author to "1", which is the WPMU admin
 and seldom the proper imported post author.

 Suggest an improvement to the RSS.php import routine (around line 98) to
 check to see if "dc:creator" is numeric. If so, use the numeric value as
 the $post_author. If not, default to 1. (or see below)

 A separate ticket will be used to suggest the import.php routine prompt
 for a global author ID (if one is not expected to be part of the import)
 for all posts being imported. In this case RSS.php would need to allow for
 an additional parameter, post_author, to be passed from import.php.
