I suspect the problem is the original commit message is modified to append (cherry picked from commit 5855906). GitHub expects the Co-Authored-By lines at the end of the commit message, so the modified commit message shadows that info.

When mergify creates a backport PR (for example) where the original commits have "Co-Authors", the co-author information is lost.
