Comment (by sabernhardt):

 To work on this, I removed and then changed the author's URL with the
 `author_link` hook:
 {{{
 add_filter( 'author_link', '__return_empty_string' );
 }}}
 {{{
 add_filter( 'author_link', function(){ return 'http://'; } );
 }}}

 The patch is refreshed, but it still should have unit tests.
