Sure, but many committers who were part of that discussion have
commented on this thread, and all of them except for you seem to agree
on what should happen here, as do all of the people who have commented
who were not party to that discussion. If you had started out this
conversation by saying "when there are both Author and Co-authored-by
tags, how am I supposed to credit that in the release notes?" and
accepted the answer you got back, I don't think anybody would be
annoyed. But now you're getting frustrated responses from a bunch of
people because you keep insisting that it must be everyone else who is
mistaken: you keep suggesting that I (and all the other committers who
have commented) misunderstood the earlier thread and the rules for
commit messages, rather than concluding that you might have been the
one who misunderstood.

It is fair to say that you need to know what the rules are, but I
really don't understand how it could be any more clear at this point
what people expect to have happen.
