WordPress : Set post author with text input

In WordPress administration I have 1800 users. When I want to publish a post, I have to choose the author out of the drop down menu (metaboxes author). This is very annoying.

I would like to be able to choose the author by typing her ID or username in a text input field.

Core's WordPress only has wp_dropdown_users() to set the author.

Any idea how to do that ?
