Comment (by talldanwp):

 Github has a feature similar to props for co-authorship of a PR:
 https://help.github.com/en/articles/creating-a-commit-with-multiple-
 authors

 There are a couple of negative aspects to the co-author system:
 - It relies on knowing the email address of the co-author and using a very
 specific syntax.
 - When a PR is squashed to master, co-authors of commits on the branch are
 stripped out of the final commit message (seems like this is possibly an
 unhelpful bug on github). Co-authors would have to be specified manually.

 Positives:
 - The UI in github is quite nice (multiple avatars are displayed next to
 the commit).
 - I haven't verified this, but I imagine co-authorship is counted as a
 contribution in github's stats.
