Description
Suggest import.html contain an optional default author entry box (numeric or alpha lookup). The entry here would become the default author if a valid post_author is not found in the imported posts. This default author would apply to all posts that are part of the import.
I am told WordPress import does allow for a author during import. I know RSS does not.
To be determined is if this default author should override valid author data - I would think it would.
An advanced feature would be to allow both a number author_ID or the friendly string-based author name to be entered and import.php would try to determine if the friendly name is unique. If not present a list of friendly names along with their blogs and allow the user to select the specific author.
Punting to be evaluated in next development cycle due to time constraints.
