Comment (by azaozz):

 Replying to [comment:7 talldanwp]:
 > 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, or using some kind of automation.

 Would it be possible to "extract" all user names or emails of the co-
 authors before the PR is squashed (or branch is deleted) and post them in
 a ...special comment. Then can probably look for these comments and give
 everybody credit as deserved.
