Use sphinx-contributors for an automated contributors list. #841

Closed fabianp closed 5 months ago

I think having an automated list of contributors is a good idea to give credit to everyone who has contributed to the project without wasting time compiling this list manually.

It's debatable whether commit count is the best metric to use for this but IMO it's the best metric we have that's easily accessible.

Along the way, I also centralized the "team" description that was scattered across index.rst and development.md

This is how the page would look like with this patch:
