Just get co-authors commenters string easily. Get co-author string directly on GitHub Pull Requests & Issues. then copy and paste it into your commit message.
Many ideas are shared not only through commits but also through comments. However, if you do not co-author the idea contributors who only left comments, they will just be left as comments and will not be included in the contributors section of your GitHub repository.
But This Coauthors GitHub App allows people who only provided ideas through comments, not commits, to become contributors, which can motivate them to contribute ideas and lead to more communication within your repository.
