So there you have it. If he looked, he co-authored then there's that.
If I put my signature on Picasso painting, it doesn't make me co-author of said painting.
Blanchard is very clear that he didn't write a single line of code. He isn't an author, he isn't a co-author.
Signing GitHub commit doesn't change that.
