Comment:

 I ran into this problem myself so I wrote up a patch. It does not add
 author__in and author__not_in, but it does, in effect, do those things
 with the 'author' param. See 16854.patch

 Essentially, if you pass only '-' values to 'author', a NOT IN query is
 assembled. If you pass only values without an '-', you get an IN query. If
 you pass a mix of '-' and non-'-', the '-' values are ignored and you get
 an IN query (since the NOTs would be redundant anyway).

 While I was refactoring, I introduced support for passing an array as well
 as a string.
