Show "me" at Author to add the filter `author:<my-username>` #3240

I don't think it's worth the cluttered UI, when you're the first option in the dropdown. I know we're about saving clicks, but this only saves one.

i added a large repo link where you can try it the time to show up: Gatsby Pull Requests

if it would show up my name before it fetched all the authors it would be nice and not worth, but depending on where i click i see:

a) i click on Author: i see nothing changing for about 10 seconds

b) i click on the drop down icon: i see this dialog for about 10 seconds with empty data: <img width="351" alt="Bildschirmfoto 2020-06-16 um 14 31 17" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/184316/84774581-51e84b00-afde-11ea-835f-0b0a63537434.png">

We could generate the list item in that dropdown so that it’s available before the full list loads.

This way it’s still 2 clicks, but you don’t have to wait.

If we prepend it inside the include-fragment element, GitHub will automatically remove it once the list loads and the native link will appear in its place.

We do something similar with the “buffer file finder” feature

for my "use case" it would be enough just include my username here, so they show up before the list is full fetched.

so we don't need to prefetch something.

Your solution is definitely easier, but that line is already too crowded, in fact we have a feature to trim it: https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github/blob/master/source/features/clean-issue-filters.tsx

If we prepend it inside the include-fragment element, GitHub will automatically remove it once the list loads and the native link will appear in its place.

Tested: (no CSS adjustments made though)

just a side note:

i see some weird things going on with user filter

this link: https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen++author%3Amuescha

becomes: https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/pulls/muescha and sometimes: https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/pulls/created_by/muescha

hard, when i try to read the location.pathname and it gets added.

i have done the me one click as a userscript: muescha/GitHub-userscripts

FYI: i find just now that there is also an other way for a 2-click search:

note: screenshot done with Refined Github off, to see if it is original from github

also a note: here the generic tag author:@me is used
