        I considered it but:

        1. I think its safer to leave attribution in general.
        2. Is “the joke” the setup, the punchline, or both?

        Since that person came up with the setup, i think an editor changing the punchline isnt necessarily making a new joke, they’d just be a third contributor.

        Opinions vary though, sure. As a software dev, I dream of a world where everything is version controlled and no one’s contributions are undocumented or underplayed.
