Comment:

 Note: Even though this is categorized as an enhancement I'm deeming it a
 defect because it `get_the_modified_author()` is ''missing'' a `$post`
 parameter in the same way that `get_the_modified_date()` and
 `get_the_modified_time()` have one. Since `get_the_modified_author()`
 never had an argument before, there isn't the complication that exists
 with `get_the_author()`/`the_author()`.
