That Saburouta would be a he or a she is irrelevant, as long as the story is good.
Both male and female mangaka have written really good pieces of yuri, so I don't really look that up before reading and loving something.
Honestly, I don't think that's true. I consider Morinaga Milk, Morishima Akiko, Amano Shuninta and Jin Takemiya to be the greatest yuri mangaka around and I don't think it's coincidence that all of those are lesbians themselves. Sure, there are awesome yuri comedies, SoLs, whatever by both men and straight women but when it comes to actual romance or the relationships themselves, there is just no way for them to fully relate.
Edit: Well, I agree that the gender of the author doesn't matter when reading, I just think it's more likely for yuri written by women to be better in those regards.
