How to limit scope of blog authors

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We have a site with more than 3000 registered users, and the site is using
this blog app. However, only six of us, who are in a group called 'Blog
Editors' are allowed to blog.

On the blog post page, can you suggest the best way to limit the contents
of the Author picklist to only display members of our group? Better yet, it
would be great if this blog app had this functionality (blogging limited to
a group) built in - I'm sure this is not an uncommon scenario. 

But for now, suggestions on tweaking it would be great. 

Thanks,
Scot

Even limiting the list to is_staff would work nicely.

Also, would be great if authorship would default to the current user, which is 
by far
the majority case.

Sorry I filed this accidentally as a defect rather than a feature request.

I'll look into this.
