Comment:

 I like the idea of making the labels visible. A couple things:

 1) It looks strange to have two of the four select inputs have labels. We
 should probably either add all of them or none of them.

 2) Should probably add a check to only display the author filter if there
 are multiple authors. For single-user sites, this would never be useful.

 3) The query should also only fetch authors who have authored posts; this
 would help streamline the results. There's no need to have a filter that
 represents users who don't have posts. What you actually need is to fetch
 all users who have published posts in the designated post type; you can
 use the `has_published_posts` argument to get that data.

 As a side note that could be looked at when this is fleshed out into a
 more complete patch - there is an alignment issue on the bottom of the
 buttons/select inputs. If it's simple to resolve, it might make sense to
 take care of it with this issue.
