Originally from #2060 (comment), but opened as a new discussion here to reduce noise on #2060:
The biggest issue here is relating contributions via git history with GitHub usernames, which are currently what gets used to identify package authors. Commit owner details are great, but I'm not sure how we'd automate the mapping between them and package owners in any kind of reliable way.
A bigger issue is that we're potentially about to enter a period of significant flux when it comes to package identity and ownership with package registries. That may make it even harder to keep any mechanism we come up with now working as that unfolds.
I think I'm happier not tackling the problem right now. 😬
