EascyCLA doesn't check for co-authors

[molssongroup]

Ticket: SUPPORT-17284

The reporting user wants to know if EasyCLA checks for co-authors. They state, "...I make tests (first, second, third) and EasyCLA ignore Co-authors, but check authors, no matter is the PR diff include their work or not."

Does EasyCLA not check for co-authors?

[dealako]

EasyCLA checks each and every commit author associated with a given comment. EasyCLA also checks all the commits associated with the pull request/merge request.

Can you provide a specific example of this not working?

We need to test this to see if 1) are the logs reporting the co-author information and are we checking for this authorization and then 2) if so, this may be a display issue. @nickmango @thakurveerendras

@molssongroup currently EasyCLA does not receive co-author information from github api and we are working on a workaround for this issue. Thanks
