is there any way we can increase number of Authors under Blog Options

Question

Hi, 
 Under Blog options we have an option to add Authors Name "Authors Enter a list of users that can manage this blog. For multi-user blogging group permissions can be used." 
 At present i seen this allows only 20 Author Name. Is there any way we can increase this count.

I've confirmed there is a limit of 20 set by the Blog Options Application Panel widget, and we do not expose a supported way to increase this limit.

Authors can manage many things about the blog, not just posting in it. If your goal is to allow many users to create posts, you can instead use group permissions to give a group or site role Blog - Create Posts permission, and add your authors to that role.
