Comment (by joedolson):

 This is good, and I think it's generally ready to go - but if we're going
 to do it for media tables, we should also extend the same logic to the
 other list tables, which all have the same issue if there's no author
 string returned.

 It may be a rare circumstance to occur, but it certainly can occur. Given
 that `get_the_author()` returns an empty string if there's no valid author
 object and is filterable, the use case is reasonable in all the similar
 contexts.

 @snehapatil02 If you can extend your PR to cover the other list tables, I
 think this will be in good shape.
