why a Co-author ? If you are the author, and just this author, we don't have to use 'Co-authored-by'.

This section is about creating a pull request based on another person's patch. In this case, I think co-author is appropriate.
If there's only one author, and the patch author and PR author is the same, then there is no need to add Co-authored-by.
