 Hi all,

 I posted about this in slack as I didn't realize there was a ticket
 around.
 https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RP4Y3K/p1587047653275600

 I'm just going to repost what I wrote there so it's also noted here.


 > Hi all, question for you regarding theme authors. It’s not currently
 possible to have multiple theme authors listed on WordPress.org. This
 presents two problems. First, and more minor, team members who contribute
 to the development of a theme are not listed as theme authors on
 WordPress.org, despite having contributed to the development of a theme.
 The second, is that when team members support a theme on WordPress.org by
 answering support questions, they do not have the ability to mark issues
 as resolved - and all team members have to use a shared account (the
 listed theme author) to close issues out.

 > Is there any sort of push towards having multiple theme authors to help
 work around these issues? Is this something that I can open up a ticket
 for on trac, since it’s .org related? Or have I just completely overlooked
 how we might have multiple contributing team members? I’d imagine multiple
 theme authors would work in the same way that having multiple plugin
 committers does.
