Comment (by lgladdy):

 I'm going to write a patch for this one, with the hope of it being
 included in 4.2

 As far as I see it, we should test if they have a level_* greater than 0,
 or if they have the edit_posts capability.

 Is there any other roles that should result in a user being included in
 the dropdown?
