Description

GitHub's API does NOT include users listed as "Co-authored-by:" (https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/46421). Therefore, there should be manual work arounds implemented.

**Update** I implemented the handling from scratch at https://github.com/koppor/github-contributors-list.

Confirm whether this repository still needs manual handling for users listed with "Co-authored-by:"; done means those co-authors are included in the contributor output.
