See https://help.github.com/en/articles/creating-a-commit-with-multiple-authors. So when multiple people contribute to a PR it will show up in their contribution count. In the past we have only attributed the person with the most commits, or in the event of a tie, the most recent committer in a PR. We're having more PRs with multiple people involved so I think it's nice to acknowledge everyone.

I also added the Signed-off-by: mark which includes the Apache committer information in the commit message

This was implemented in Apache Spark in https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/dev/merge_spark_pr.py so I've adopted the approach here.

I tested this on a PR with a single author. I'll wait to merge something with multiple authors to see if it works correctly before merging this

Still a little more work to do on this. The author bylines have to come at the very end of the commit message

+1. I've used this to merge a multiple author commit (6109647) and single author commit now
