[FEATURE] Separate rightsholder field in metadata default template #429

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently there is less of an obvious way of providing the rightsholder to the data. One can add it only as a contributer when choosing contributer type, but that field would suggest adding a name and last name as well (and in university settings, a single person is often not the rightsholder but the employer (institute) is).

Describe the solution you'd like

Make a separate field 'rightsholder' that can accept either just an institute or can accept a natural person in the off chance a natural person is the rightsholder.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Keep adding it as a contributor, but that doesn't seem to do right by the importance of rightsholdership?
