@joshbressers Kindly assign me this issue, I want to work on it. Thank You!
Welp. We do have https://github.com/cloudsecurityalliance/gsd-database/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md
Not sure a database warrants a huge list of Contributors in the face of it with the readme. Since we do acknowledge and have links to contributors that raise new GSD data, I think that’s good enough.
Curious why you think we should have this @Kalyanimhala
Already mention the importance of it, in the description! Thank You!
What I really wanted to see are counter arguments to what we already have. GitHub also has a contributors feature baked in (https://github.com/cloudsecurityalliance/gsd-database/graphs/contributors), and this just seems like not very meaningful in terms of things in the readme. we’re likely going to have many contributors, this being a publicly available database.
Also, git already handles the transparency and accountability portion of what you indicated.
There is no Contributors section in readme file . As we know Contributions are what make the open-source community such an amazing place to learn, inspire, and create. The Contributors section in a README.md file is important as it acknowledges and gives credit to those who have contributed to a project, fosters community and collaboration, adds transparency and accountability, and helps document the project's history for current and future maintainers. It also serves as a form of recognition, motivating contributors to continue their efforts.
