+       gitlog-to-changelog: support multi-author commits.
+       The FSF cares about keeping track of all authors of patches to its
+       projects, but Git doesn't provide obvious support for multi-author
+       changesets. Consensus seems to be forming around the use of extra
+       Signed-off-by inspired lines in the log message formatted as
+       `Co-authored-by: A U Thor <email@example.com>' for round-tripping
+       multi-author commits between version control systems.
+       * gitlog-to-changelog: Extract `Co-authored-by:' lines from the git
+       log message and output in standard ChangeLog multi-author format.
+       Reported by Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
