I thought the original Nushell was written by Jonathan Turner.

Is this different? Some attribution in the article would help.

(Thanks for pointing, there are links to original in the article)

I think this is what makes it sound like the author of the article is the author of nushell. My first reading led me to believe the same, but she is "only" responsible for the OpenBSD package.

oh, I'm indeed not the author of nushell, I'll try to make it more clear!
It doesn't seem so. While not immediately clear, this article doesn't seem to be claiming ownership of the project. It is a third-party review/introduction. They link to the project after the first section.
I get the impression that she packaged it for OpenBSD and wrote this as an intro to the shell for others. The 'written by Solene' bit reads initially as though she's claiming to have written Nushell, but when reading the text, it's pretty clear she didn't:
