## Description

**Post CoAuthors** is a lightweight and optimized plugin that allows you to assign
multiple contributors to any WordPress post. The plugin adds a meta box to the post
editor, where administrators, editors, and authors can assign contributors from

with WordPress standards.

It integrates seamlessly with the WordPress admin UI and provides clean uninstallation
by removing all plugin-related metadata.

### Features
