You can now use `{{ author }}` in rule conditions — for example `sender = {{ author }}` or `commits[*].author = {{ author }}` — to match an attribute against the pull request's author. It's resolved as a native, built-in value, accepted everywhere, and existing configurations keep working unchanged.
