Out of curiosity (apologies for meddling in), would this be the kind of
situation where sticking a "Co-authored-by" makes sense?
(cf. CONTRIBUTE)

Terse and robotic as it may sound, I guess the convention allows anyone
(or any tool) interested in attribution to find it somewhat
deterministically…

(This prompted me to check whether any tool out there actually
recognizes this tag; apparently GitHub's log UI does[1].)

(Also, Magit just gained a new function to insert those easily[2]; no
default binding yet, unfortunately.)
