Possibly. I think we're tying ourselves up in knots needlessly here,
though. To me, without having to interpret the exact meaning by
consulting a wiki, Co-authored-by signifies that the person made a
significant contribution, but not as much as the Author(s). These things
shouldn't be technical terms of art.
Personally, I'm in favor of being fairly liberal about giving release
note credits.
