Generate authors list

This small script reads the commit information and generates a list of authors and links them to their Github profile, if available. This can be run before each release to keep the data up to date.

Usage

Generate a token to avoid the rate limiting on the Github API: https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens (no need to select any permissions, we're just performing reading operations on public data)

Run the script and optionally copy the generated files to their correct locations
