Comment:

 Thanks for opening the ticket. After four years, though, it probably is
 not worth adding a new template file now.

 Twenty Ten through Twenty Fourteen have an Author Archives template, but
 Twenty Fifteen and Twenty Sixteen specifically do not have one. Those two
 themes mention that users can add an author.php if they want (in the
 [https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/browser/twentyfifteen/1.0/archive.php#L8
 archive.php documentation]):

 > If you'd like to further customize these archive views, you may create a
 > new template file for each one. For example, tag.php (Tag archives),
 > category.php (Category archives), author.php (Author archives), etc.

 Newer bundled themes do not have an author.php template either.
