Comment:

 Hi.
 I want to reopen this ticket.
 Using the function {{{wp_is_large_user_count()}}} in the posts Quick edit
 feature of a subsite in a multisite installation is not appropriate for
 determining whether the 'Change Author' option should be hidden. This is
 because the function {{{wp_is_large_user_count()}}} checks for the total
 number of users in the entire network, rather than the number of users who
 can add or edit posts in the current subsite.

 For instance, a network may have over 10,000 users, but a particular
 subsite may only have 2 or 3 users who have the ability to write posts.
 Therefore, relying on the function {{{wp_is_large_user_count()}}} to
 decide whether or not to hide the 'Change Author' option leads to
 incorrect outcomes.
