title: How to attribute a single commit to multiple developers?
body: <p>The way all version control systems I'm familiar with work is that each commit is attributed to a single developer. The rise of Agile Engineering, and specifically pair programming, has lead to a situation where two developers have made a significant contribution to the same task, a bug fix for example.</p>
  
  <p>The issue of attribution won't be too much of a big deal in a work environment since the project manager will be aware of the work the pairs are doing, but what about if two open source contributors decide to pair up and push out some code to a particular project that has no idea they're working together. Is there any way for a version control system like Git to attribute a particular patch to multiple developers?</p>
