Parses CHANGES.txt to identify contributors #2424

A smaller font would be nice... kind of like credits so as to not distract from the primary message of what the release is. Maybe centered.
This script can be used to list contributors as indicated in CHANGES.txt so that we can easily thank them in our release notes.
I tested it on 9.6 and I'm happy with the results! Added them to: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SOLR/ReleaseNote9_6_0
Ideally we incorporate this into the Release Wizard.
