Co-authors are identified via the `Co-authored-by:` trailer in commit messages using the GitHub noreply email format (e.g., `username@users.noreply.github.com`). This will impact action performance as it requires scanning all commits. ie. ACKNOWLEDGE_COAUTHORS = "True" or ACKNOWLEDGE_COAUTHORS = "False" |
 
 **Note**: If `start_date` and `end_date` are specified then the action will determine if the contributor is new. A new contributor is one that has contributed in the date range specified but not before the start date.
 
 **Performance Note:** Using start and end dates will reduce speed of the action by approximately 63X. ie without dates if the action takes 1.7 seconds, it will take 1 minute and 47 seconds.
 
+**Co-authors Note:** When `ACKNOWLEDGE_COAUTHORS` is enabled, the action will scan commit messages for `Co-authored-by:` trailers and include those users as contributors. Only co-authors with GitHub noreply email addresses (e.g., `username@users.noreply.github.com`) will be recognized, as this is the standard format used by GitHub for [creating commits with multiple authors](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/committing-changes-to-your-project/creating-and-editing-commits/creating-a-commit-with-multiple-authors).
