I think the lack of a "Master" stage in such a listing is more a result of someone being able to scan over a body of work than of a lack of mastery on the part of the author myself. I mean say a author started in the 1880's and ran til somewhere in the early 1930's for example. Their later works are not yet in PD but the majority of them will be and it's easy to be critical of the body of another's work and say that this is where they reached their height and this is where they started to decline etc. It's not so easy though with a contemporary author.
