TODO keywords are single classification. This means that you are not able to assign more than one person to a task. I'm using @tags for the same purpose which allows me to assign tasks to more than one person and keep TODO keywords independent to the person. For example, when you resolve a task, you lose the information who was assigned to the task. Therefore, I'd use: * Meeting ** TODO Prepare the demo :@Fred: ** STARTED Contact customer :@Sara: ** TODO Work on the document :@Fred:@Lucy:@Mike: More on that on https://karl-voit.at/2019/09/25/categories-versus-tags/ including an elisp snippet I'm using to filter according to @name-tags. YMMV.
