Thanks for this suggestion, Misha. I’ve changed the headline to include Ben’s name, and I’m reviewing our transcript-publishing process to see how we be more clear in the future (e.g. by posting under authors’ names if they have an EA Forum account, as we do when we crosspost from a user’s blog).
An update: The previous name on this account was “Centre for Effective Altruism”. Since the account was originally made for the purpose of posting transcripts from EA Global, I’ve renamed it to “EA Global Transcripts” to avert further confusion.
Currently, co-authorship only produces karma for the “lead author”. The same is true on LessWrong, where most of the Forum’s code comes from, and they’re interested in changing that at some point (I submitted a Github request here), but it would require a more-than-trivial infrastructure change, so I don’t know how highly they’ll prioritize it.

How is karma allocated for co-authored posts?

Got it, thanks!
