Show a filter for all already installed plugin authors on the plugins install page

[zodiac1978]

Lately there are more discussions about finding new plugins on the official directory. The featured tab is now being curated to show new and upcoming plugins.

Inspired by #65359 (Filter plugins by author) and my own #65455 (Add "multisite" tagged plugins on a multisite installation) we could also have a new tab showing all plugins from the already trusted authors.

The tab would check all plugin authors installed at the moment, deduplicate them and query all the authors and output every plugin from those authors together in one list.

This would help to find more plugins from already trusted authors.

Not sure about the name of the tab/link, but if the idea is worth implementing, we will find a name. :)

What do you think?

+1 This would be a nice way to surface work by plugin authors you already know and trust, as the OP mentioned.

I love this idea. Especially since the search feature by name does not always pull up all the author related plugins. I use Favorites most of the time, but this would be another great option.
