Feed filters: match on the author too

[ljakab]

It's great that filtering support was added in 28.4.0, but recently I came across a feed that wanted me filter on the author field. I follow a classifieds feed for amateur radio gear, https://www.radioamator.ro/rss/mp.xml. A handful of people post the same ads over and over. What identifies the junk is who posted it, not what it says. The author appears only in the item's <author>, never in the title or the description, so a title, body, or URL filter can't catch it. Matching wording instead means guessing every ad's phrasing, and catching other people's ads that happen to share it.

Would it be possible to have an author keyword list next to title, body, and URL, matched against the item's stored author like the title is: comma-separated, case-insensitive, whole words, OR with the other fields? Whole words matter here: a keyword for one poster should not catch another whose name contains it. They also cope with feeds that put several names in one author field.

Thank you for your consideration.
