Description

## Problem being solved
Large repositories often have hundreds of authors that did very small changes, but these get mixed with the regular authors, crowding graphs and outputs.

## Proposal
Create option --authors-limit that accepts the number of authors to include in results (affecting text and graph outputs)

Research direction

Start by locating the CLI handling and output generation for changes, ownership, and ownership-timeline, including both text and graph outputs. Trace how authors are selected and define completion as a new --authors-limit option that constrains authors consistently across those results.
