Raised the process fault here on voice chat but just to re-iterate:

This will happen whenever an additional person - usually a non-technical contributor, like a spriter or audio technician, gets their work in-game via the help of a friendly contributor.

There should be a new row added to PRs to list contributors who should be added to the credits that are not the person making the PR, and there needs to be a process for adding these people in along with the main contributor.

If you want to be very spicy, crediting properly is an important thing that comes up in games, particularly when the studio has union people inside it. Asking "how do you want to be credited" and then listing the name of the contributor as specified rather than just their Github handle might be wise.

I should also add that this is presently possible, if the helping contributor knows how, to add a coauthor to a commit. This essentially attributes the "authorship" of a commit to the helping contributor and the artist, and this is respected by the currently in-place system for listing all contributors. This is a built-in feature in Git, which GitHub is compliant with.

This does not fully cover it, as FairlySadPanda has raised above, sometimes artists might want to be credited through more than their GitHub handle, but that in itself would require a whole new system as well.

Co-authors usage

To add a co-author to a commit, the commit message must end with a blank line followed by a co-authors line for each co-author of the commit.

Example:

Add functionality to manually add contributors to the contributions list.

Co-authored-by: GITHUB-NAME-OF-AUTHOR <COMMITTER-EMAIL-OF-AUTHOR>

Where you can substitute GITHUB-NAME-OF-AUTHOR and COMMITTER-EMAIL-OF-AUTHOR with the correct values.
