 Test Report

 Environment:

 WordPress Playground
 Patch applied successfully

 Results:

 Confirmed that a new "Filter by author" dropdown appears in the Plugins
 screen when two or more distinct plugin authors are installed.
 The dropdown is populated using plugin Author headers.
 Selecting an author and clicking the Filter button correctly filters the
 plugin list to only show plugins from the selected author.
 The filter works through standard GET requests and functions correctly
 without JavaScript.
 Existing status views (Active, Inactive, Update Available, etc.) remain
 unchanged and continue to work as expected.
 Verified that the author filter helps reduce clutter in the status filter
 bar compared to adding separate author-specific views.
 No regressions observed during testing.

 Patch tested successfully and behaves as described in the ticket.
