Comment:

 'admin' should be avoided as user_login anyway. On a single site there is
 usually a site owner, identified by the user who has the same email as the
 one who installed it and may be still be the receiver of admin emails for
 the site.

 {{{
 if ( $exclude_admin && get_option('admin_email') == $author->user_email )
 }}}

 This will exclude one, or sometimes no users. Or just deprecate the whole
 $exclude_admin thing in favor of something more modern in terms of today's
 WordPress roles and capabilities.
