 Since WordPress 4.4 the function {{{get_the_author_posts_link()}}} is
 available:

 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/4.4-branch/wp-includes/author-
 template.php#L236-268

 It was introduced in #30355. It escapes the {{{get_author_posts_url()}}}
 as expected and uses {{{rel="author"}}} for the author link.

 This is not the case with {{{wp_list_authors()}}} were e.g. both
 {{{get_author_posts_url()}}} and {{{get_author_feed_link()}}} are un-
 escaped.

 ps:

 My first thought was to have two separate tickets for the escape +
 relation, but I decided to combine it here as it corresponds to the same
 code.

 It would have been handy to use {{{get_author_posts_url()}}} within
 {{{wp_list_authors()}}} but there's a slight difference there. If we had
 e.g. the input parameters {{{get_author_posts_url( $author, $name )}}}
 then such a replacement could work ;-)
