MFlux contributor acknowledgment?

[ianscrivener]

This is the contributor README me section that Mariano (@fxd0h) suggested very early in the days of MFlux-Community.

What are our thoughts about including this in the readme?

MFlux was originally created by Filip Strand in August 2024 and open sourced on GitHub.

The provenance behind that grid. Dates are the merge date of the PR that brought the work in, which
is a different thing from the model's own public release date. Every row is read out of the upstream git
history rather than filled in by hand, so it can be re-derived:
gh pr view <n> -R filipstrand/mflux --json author,mergedAt.

Merged upstream:

My thoughts;

1. Like giving credit to Filip and the core team.
2. *Like acknowledging all of the contributors in the community.
3. suggest: Thumbnails for core team - @filipstrand, @anthonywu, @plz12345, @fxd0h, @ianscrivener
4. (optional): Smaller thumbnail gallery for contributors (The many just have the default GH thumbnail - meh)
5. suggest: table of significant contribution in one table (manually curated - perhaps by @fxd0h ?)
