Comment (by archon810):

 I just had to elevate a user to Editor status just to change the author
 because when he was Author, he wasn't showing up in the list, for whatever
 reason. And yes, we do use the Members plugin, though I don't quite
 understand why users set to Author, a built-in role, don't show up.
