Actually we (me and Lukas) were planning to introduce a fix for suggesting users to use "Co-developed-by" tag over "Co-authored-by" and I noticed that you have earlier used "Co-authored-by" tag. I feel that users perhaps use this tag as they are unaware of its standard equivalent tag, "Co-developed-by" Do you think that this fix will be beneficial for future users? If so, can you please add your Acked-by to the patch? Thanks Aditya
