Comment (by scribu):

 > The last one, author, is particularly niche. We can support it in two
 ways: one, via a special search parameter, and two, by hijacking the "By
 Andrew Nacin" link to point to an in-dashboard author page for the user.
 (Not done here.)

 So that page would presumably display a list of said author's plugins,
 which would open in the same lightbox. That might work, but I don't really
 see the need if {{{author:X}}} searches work.
