Default Joomla Articles Latest module do not include a possibility to choose a specific or a list of user(s) author(s).

It's impossible to select users.
I have a plugin called Add XML Fields (I am the creator of this plugin) that combines some process to perform a field override.
That's ok for me. But, I am very disapointed with many default Joomla way of work.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Create a new "Articles Latest" module in Joomla administrator

Go to "Authors" option. You will see only three options to choose, but do not appears an option to choose a specific user or a list of users.

Expected result

Authors is expected to be an "user" form field type or another option to choose a specific user_id.

Actual result

Show only three options, impossible to choose authors.

System information (as much as possible)

Joomla 3.8.8, PHP7

Additional comments

Please, include this "user" form field type in the next releases
