Description

We currently capture signoffs, but we're missing information about the original authors of existing codelists. Have discussed with @CarolineMorton and it's likely there's a fairly good paper trail (in GH issues + Slack) of who's contributed which codelists.

Research direction

Start by tracing how existing signoffs and codelist metadata are recorded, then search the GitHub issues and Slack paper trail mentioned in the issue for contributors to each existing codelist. Done means the original authors have been identified and recorded for the relevant existing codelists, with the resulting records verified.
