This is output of pair programming so only fair to acknowledge
both developers (or more if a larger group).  Right now
we have a guide that says Co-developed-by is the way to do that.
I would stick to that.  If people feel something else makes sense
then they should propose a change to the documentation and
hopefully we can reach some agreement on this.

I'm happy with Co-developed-by in IIO as I think it's a fair
reflection of what happened. Authored-by would be fine but
isn't a standard tag documented anywhere.
