why a Co-author ? If you are the author, and just this author, we don't have to use 'Co-authored-by'.

This section is about creating a pull request based on another person's patch. In this case, I think co-author is appropriate.
If there's only one author, and the patch author and PR author is the same, then there is no need to add Co-authored-by.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
