Add separate authors file to track contributions #429

Closed timfel closed 1 year ago

timfel commented 1 year ago

The project is no longer called pyhandle, so the old copyright notice was a bit confusing. Also, contributions by Oracle folks as part of their work should be attributed to Oracle, not the employees personally, so the git history alone is not a great way to track copyright. I suppose if/when other companies start contributing, they might similarly like to be mentioned as contributors.

I have so far not put any other companies in the AUTHORS file, just people's names. If e.g. @mattip or @antocuni want to attribute their work to Quansight or Anaconda, we should add them as well
