Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 In [changeset:"43138" 43138]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="43138"
 REST API: When handling `who=authors` query parameter for `GET
 wp/v2/users`, only check `edit_posts` for post types that support
 `author`.

 Props danielbachhuber.
 Merges [43137] to the 4.9 branch.
 Fixes #42202.
