Description
Currently, changelog-maker does not take into consideration PRs that have a Co-Author, giving credits only to the PR author. I think we need to change that.

Research direction
Start by locating the changelog-maker code that parses git log commits and generates CHANGELOG.md entries. Check how author credits are currently extracted, then define completion as changelog entries crediting PR co-authors from Co-Authored-By trailers as well as the PR author.
