Not fully checked, but if the code does what I think it does, that looks sensible. This would be a bit of a breaking change (in behaviour), though, so I would suggest saving it for a minor (not point) release.
as chances are that we will want to link a Guest Author to a WP author, and not a subscriber or a user without rights to write a post
I guess there could be a case when creating a Guest Author linked to a Subscriber is exactly the use case for someone - that they don't want to give a Subscriber any higher role, but do want to be able to mark them as a co-author on a post.
Description
This is a PR / question.
We have had issues with the "Link user" dropdown, under the "Unique slug" metabox when editing a Guest Author.
When a site has thousands of subscribers, the dropdown gets too big and it causes the browser to crash.
We have worked around this issue via the provided filter, but I was wondering if this makes sense to be the default behavior, as chances are that we will want to link a Guest Author to a WP author, and not a subscriber or a user without rights to write a post.
