That is possible with `gnus-summary-limit-to-author'. But I have experienced a "limit"ation with that function, and that is that if I open a group with only say 20 out of a total of 200 posts/mails, then `gnus-summary-limit-to-author' will operate on only those 20! This might be what some people want but I think it is confusing, so I wrote this to compensate - with this, all 200 will be filtered regardless how many was opened with the group to begin with.
