Adds an AUTHORS.md file explaining where copyright information can be found.

@fmontesi fmontesi requested a review from chenson2018 as a code owner July 8, 2026 11:54
Comment thread AUTHORS.md

To see more people who have contributed to CSLib and own copyright to parts of the codebase, please refer to its Git history (on a web browser, this can be accessed at <https://github.com/leanprover/cslib/commits/main>).

**Note**: Git history may not always be fully comprehensive. In cases where code is co-written, only the person who commits the changes may appear in the Git history, even if multiple people contributed to the work.

I think there are two things at play here:

  • If a contributor does not declare who they collaborated with, then the history will have no record of it.
  • If a contributor writes a Co-authored-by line incorrectly, then GitHub will not link it to a GitHub account. Either way it's still in "the git history"

I guess more precise would be to say "Commit messages may attribute additional authors beyond the single commit author name"
