#57816: WordPress shows author archive in sitemap even if there are no posts

 It looks like this should be avoided: If there are no posts in the WP
 installation (only pages), the `wp-sitemap.xml` still contains the author
 archive. And if you follow the link, you get a 404 error.

 This couldn't make sense for SEO ...
