Description

When viewing the list of guest authors, it would be nice to be able to delete users in bulk and assign all deleted users' posts to a single user.

This isn't how most people use the plugin, though, so I understand that this will be tagged as low-priority and a feature request.

Research direction

Start from the guest authors list in the WordPress plugin and trace the existing deletion and post-assignment behavior. Define the bulk-selection flow and confirm that deleted users' posts can be assigned to one selected user; done means both operations work together without leaving posts unassigned.
