Details:
I'm copying a suggestion made in the commit comment of bug #49932, in
relation to the genauthors script for crediting authors of gnuastro.
TODO: There is no weighting option in _genauthors_ to differentiate minor
commits from significant commits. A weighting by the number of lines
changed would partly overcome this and be easy to implement. However, the
*significance* of edits is not always proportional to the number of lines
edited. For example, correcting a wrong minus sign would be a single byte
edit, but possibly be of critical scientific importance. That's why I'm
rating this at the lowest priority status (1 = "later").
