@jonny I've seen a couple of people do this previously, if I remember C. Titus Brown did so, and took a lot of flack from some corners for it at the time. I'd hope that attitudes have changed, especially around software. But yeah, in general we need to be more open about offering authorship for any kind of contribution to the project.

Ya I have very little patience for the culture of hierarchy that says what kind of work "counts" as a "substantial intellectual contribution" and think its p much exclusively used to gatekeep.
