Comment (by cais):

 Good thing I searched first, although this is not what I had in mind ...

 ... looking through my notes for some feature ideas I happened across the
 `is_multi_author` function and thought I might put it to use, at least
 until I saw it was basically incomplete for a standard WordPress
 installation. It would be negligent to think WordPress installations could
 only be filled with ```posts``` for multiple authors. I would actually
 more expect to see multiple authors when the installation is only filled
 with ```pages``` and looking at this function as is, it only queries for
 posts and ignores the possibility another author may only write pages, or
 that the site only contains pages and no posts.

 Modifying the query should be easy enough to also take into account
 ```pages```
