Eitsupi as co-author

[sorhawell]

Dear admins
@etiennebacher @grantmcdermott @eitsupi 🎂 🎉 🚀
( CC @vincentarelbundock )

Measured on various variables such as commits and code-lines @eitsupi has contributed >15% . Also there are several aspects of the polars package, where eitsupi is clearly the expert.

For these reasons I argue eitsupi should be added as co-author in DESCRIPTION. If we agree, as above could be the thumb rule for future co-authorship.

Thank you for considering this!
I honestly don't know the criteria for inclusion in DESCRIPTION in general, so I can't say, but in terms of contact information, it might make sense since I have some understanding of the code base.

Could you also consider adding @etiennebacher to aut or ctb?
The website using altdoc is to @etiennebacher's credit.

I don't mind being listed or not being listed in DESCRIPTION, but if you choose to put me in, ctb feels more appropriate

+1 to @etiennebacher's comment. I'm grateful to be included as a contributor (ctb) and this corresponds to my understanding of the R package contribution conventions... but won't lose any sleep if not. I imagine the same is true for @vincentarelbundock.

@sorhawell and @eitsupi as dual authors/maintainers feels very appropriate. Thanks to you both for your tireless work on this cool project!

I looked at commit statistics and considered consistent cutoff rules. I have added only etiennerbacher as ctb as otherwise likely a handful more ctb's should be added immediately.

The package’s DESCRIPTION file must show both the name and email address of a single designated maintainer (a person, not a mailing list)

I will remain the 'cre'. If it becomes relevant, I don't mind swapping.
