Provide an ID for the author selector on the Block Editor

Description
Since WP 5.6 the author selector under the Status & visibility panel in the sidebar of the Block Editor have no HTML ID, so there is no trivial way to target it with a CSS rule. Neither with javascript.
My request to WP core developers is to provide either an ID or a CSS class to the component row of that field. Other fields in that same panel have an additional class, like the Visibility (.edit-post-post-visibility) or Publish (.edit-post-post-schedule) fields.
Looking into the source code, I guess it would be as easy as editing the wp-includes/js/dist/edit-post.js file to change this piece of code:
function PostAuthor() {
return Object(external_this_wp_element_["createElement"])(external_this_wp_editor_["PostAuthorCheck"], null, Object(external_this_wp_element_["createElement"])(external_this_wp_components_["PanelRow"], null, Object(external_this_wp_element_["createElement"])(external_this_wp_editor_["PostAuthor"], null)));
}
to something like this:
function PostAuthor() {
return Object(external_this_wp_element_["createElement"])(external_this_wp_editor_["PostAuthorCheck"], null, Object(external_this_wp_element_["createElement"])(external_this_wp_components_["PanelRow"], { className: "edit-post-post-author" }, Object(external_this_wp_element_["createElement"])(external_this_wp_editor_["PostAuthor"], null)));
}
Thanks!

Hi!
This has been reported upstream in the Gutenberg GitHub repository, and work can continue on this issue:
https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/12067
Thanks for the report. This is a wider problem in the block editor in general, none of the component rows in the sidebar include distinct class or id attributes.
I think this needs to be reported upstream on the Gutenberg repo.
