Comment (by nitya99):

 Can't imagine wp_query doesn't query posts by user role. All the user
 generated directory or blog websites I builds (different user roles with
 different capabilities), has this limit.[[BR]]

 We can't just get all the 5000+ user ids by role and then query the posts
 by those user ids.

 I think query posts by author role must be added to the core wp_query.
