Yes, the same goes to the address on Signed-off-by: footers. There recently was a series to enhance the footer list handling (Christian Cc'ed) for the generation and maintenance side, and I do think it is reasonable to further add enhanced support for footers. That does not argue for having a new "coauthor" as a new commit object header at all, though. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
