 I'm not sure this is a bug, I may not be familiar enough with the
 functions governing this in WP.

 The problem is that I can not choose an author for custom post type posts.
 If I go to the normal posts, the list is populated with about 20 names.

 In custom post types, I can not choose any author, the currently logged in
 user is shown for new posts, and only the original author is shown for
 already created posts. I can not change the author of already created
 posts, even if I am logged in with a different user (who is an admin).

 I am guessing this has to do with permission issues, but I looked at the
 register_post_type() function and also at the code in the core which
 registers the basic types like post and page and I couldn't find any
 arguments which would resolve this.
