5407	Improve wp_list_authors efficiency	Bobcat	anonymous	"wp_list_authors() makes multiple queries per registered user.  For example, if a blog has 50 registered users, wp_list_authors() will make over 100 queries, even if there are only a few users who can write posts.

Alexander Concha developed the attached patch which does it all with only one query total (two if ""show_fullname"" is enabled).  However, he questions if this change belongs in the WP core.  I think it does because it's such a vast improvement over the current extremely inefficient code."	enhancement	new	low	Future Release	Optimization	2.3.1	normal		needs-patch	WordPress@… juliobosk@…
