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.

only do this on all articles in the group,
not just those displayed."
