Update authors

[ravage84]

• Move original author Manuel Pichler to new section
• Add Kyle & Tobias to main authors/maintainers
• Add notable Kamil Szymanski & Frank Dekker to contributors

[AJenbo]

What qualifies people for the list or not?
For example I don't see a direct mapping between https://github.com/phpmd/phpmd/graphs/contributors and the list here

[kylekatarnls]

I guess we can get rid of the since-year mention (at least in the contributors list), I don't think it adds value, even more when it's just 1 commit.

We could generate the list like this:

(() => {
const minimumContribution = 1;
const content = {};
const users = {};

['pdepend/pdepend', 'phpmd/phpmd'].forEach(async repo => {
    content[repo] = [];
    const contributors = await (await fetch(`https://api.github.com/repos/${repo}/contributors`)).json();

    contributors.forEach(async contributor => {
        if (contributor['contributions'] < minimumContribution) {
            return;
        }

        const user = contributor['login'];
        const name = (await (await fetch(`https://api.github.com/users/${user}`)).json())['name'] || user;
        content[repo].push(`${name} / https://github.com/${user}`);
        users[user] = `${name} / https://github.com/${user}`;
    });
});

return {users, content};
})();

So today, both repos together, it's:

Then we can just exclude from there contributors mentioned in a previous list.

What qualifies people for the list or not? For example I don't see a direct mapping between https://github.com/phpmd/phpmd/graphs/contributors and the list here

This list was maintained manually in the past. There was no rule set behind, as far as aI understand.

But we can and should change that.

[ravage84]

I guess we can get rid of the since-year mention (at least in the contributors list), I don't think it adds value, even more when it's just 1 commit.

I agree to remove the "since-year" annotation for the minor contributors.

We could generate the list like this:

Then we can just exclude from there contributors mentioned in a previous list.

I like that, though I would only show the ones for PHPMD on the page for PHPMD (PDepend can have a similar page).

This would have been my end goal, anyway.
With this PR, i just wanted to get a discussion going and have a minimum viable change to merge.

[ravage84]

I propose the following struture:

1. Original Author/Maintainer
   • From & until
   • Just Manuel Picher, to honor his work
2. Current Main Authors/Maintainers
   • From
   • To honor the current maintainer's work
3. Past Authors/Maintainers
   • From & Until, if possible & sensible
   • Honorable mentions, like develoerp frankdekker & eeree
4. Contributors
   • Everybody else, automatically generated
   • Either all or excluding the ones above
