I guess you could make another option for it. You can copy and modify the mctagmap-functions.php file freely per the installation instructions.
So in the code where it starts:
if($taxonomy){
$tags = get_terms($taxonomy, 'order=ASC&hide_empty='.$show_empty.'');
} elseif($show_categories == "yes"){
....
you could do:
if($taxonomy){
$tags = get_terms($taxonomy, 'order=ASC&hide_empty='.$show_empty.'');
} elseif($authors){
$tags = wp_list_authors( $args );
}

Then modify the output as you need it.
I’m not good in this things 🙂 Do you think you could paste entire file mctagmap-functions.php to pastebin?
Thank you very much for your work.
To get this to work, what would I need to rename the new file (the copy of mctagmap-functions.php) and where would I need to place it?
The installation instructions cover this: http://wordpress.org/plugins/multi-column-tag-map/installation/:
If you wish to make PHP changes, make a folder named “multi-column-tag-map” in your theme’s directory. Move a copy of the plugin’s “mctagmap_functions.php” into that folder. There you can make PHP changes that will not be overwritten when you update the mctagmap plugin.
