Hmm, I'm not so sure about this. We don't index article content by writers
either do we ? I mean we could of course, and i'm sure that it might be handy
for some of the editors, but it would also be very unhandy for a majority of
people using search. (So should perhaps only be done in "everything" mode of
search).

Authors of files (and copyrightable changes) should be listed in the
information template or in the license attribution, but that is indexed just
fine if I'm not mistaken, so not a WMF search configuration problem.

So I'm sure we can have improvements in the search indexed information that we
expose, but I think Adam's reasoning here is too shortsighted and too focused
on his own experience with several other wiki(p|m)edians. A more focused
approach towards increasing the searchability of our content is indeed
required, but there is a reason why WMF is looking for a Lucene expert to be
added to the WMF team
