By the way, there are starting to be some standards for including these kin= ds of parseable facts in commit messages. One place to look (and possibly to contribute a suggestion to) is https://w= ww.conventionalcommits.org/. Another, older standard is at http://subversi= on.apache.org/docs/community-guide/conventions.html#crediting, though I thi= nk it's only used in that one project. The latter one looks like it's more= directly relevant to this use case than Conventional Commits is, as it cur= rently supports these fields: Patch by: Suggested by: Found by: Review by: Tested by: "Co-authored-by:" is probably similar to "Patch by:". Now, I think it stil= l makes sense for us to use "Co-authored-by:", given that some (admittedly = non-free-software) tools already parse it [1], but I wanted to make sure th= at these parallel efforts are known, so that we can learn whatever is avail= able to be learned from them as we're setting a convention.
