Adding authors

[mattiasthalen]

How would you recommend adding author(s)?
Some releases are made by me, some are made by others and a third is a combination of several authors.
I would really like to keep track of this in the changelog.

Should I just add an authors section and/or add the author for each change/addition/removal?
Example:
`

[1.1.0] - xxxx-xx-xx -------------------------------------------------------

Author

• author_1@example.com

Added

• Pick released by
• Ship method [author_2@example.com]
• Pre-pack flag [author_3@example.com]

Changed

• Line date associoation. [author_2@example.com]
• Changelog format.
• Start following semantic versioning properly. [author_3@example.com]

I feel like listing the author in each line of changes is sufficient. I don't think the Author section is usually very useful.

If seems like it'd be OK to have a paragraph at the top of the section for each version, with project-related announcements, calling out things like a new maintainer, or even thanking new authors joining in.
