Comment (by joehoyle):

 I'm +1 on not using `who` - `'has_public_posts' => get_post_types( array(
 'public' => true ) )` seems somewhat of an anti-pattern -
 `'has_published_posts' => get_post_types( array( 'public' => true ) )`
 seems more aptly named. Or `has_published_posts_of_type` would be more
 descriptive.

 I like the `post_count` idea - however I'm not sure if that's half way to
 a real query API for complex user querying based off post selection. I
 don't know if the end goal could be use `WP_Query` ala `WP_Meta_Query` to
 mixin the query with the user query.

 I'd say for now, `has_published_posts` with an array of any post types
 would be generic enough, without creating a another pseudo posts query
 language separate to WP_Query.
