Yes, the same goes to the address on Signed-off-by: footers. There recently was a series to enhance the footer list handling (Christian Cc'ed) for the generation and maintenance side, and I do think it is reasonable to further add enhanced support for footers.

That does not argue for having a new "coauthor" as a new commit object header at all, though.
