Comment(by takaitra):

 Denis, I see that microgroove's code was checked in. I'm going to code the
 following pseudocode and submit a new patch. Let me know if you see any
 logic problems. Thanks.

 First, query a list of authors and post counts. This would be a join but
 either leave out the GROUP BY or include ORDER BY NULL to avoid the sort
 overhead. It would be a LEFT JOIN or INNER JOIN conditional on whether
 authors with zero posts need to be displayed. It would also include an
 appropriate HAVING and LIMIT clause based on the min_count and number
 options.

 Next, acquire the associated User objects based on miqrogroove's new code.
 This would only be done if show_fullname is true. A loop through the
 authors will be needed to associate them with their post counts.

 Sort the list of authors based on post count or name, depending on the
 orderby option.
