Comment (by markoheijnen):

 I thought about it and I don't see this work unless we add a lot of
 options. Showing all authors isn't always a smart thing. Like when an
 author wrote a post several years ago. So maybe you only want to show
 authors who wrote stuff in the last year.

 Also maybe you only want to show editors. I see a lot of use cases what
 are just a little bit different. Just like the recent post widget that
 some people copy/paste and then extend with thumbnail or some other
 information
