Iris Contributors

I recently noticed that pyproj has a dedicated section in their README.md listing their Contributors.

They've used All Contributors to assist with the management and automation of the process, which has an associated bot that can be configured for repo maintainers to easily include and update the status of contributors.

Is this a gesture that we'd want to adopt and share with the Iris community?

I certainly wouldn't suggest that we populate our README.md, but rather a specific page of the documentation perhaps?

Looks like a nice potential addition to the docs, especially as it uses existing tooling to generate the list of contributors.

A related idea that I've had is that we could give some recognition to people who help other people out on Yammer - maybe at the end of the year an AVD general shout-out to everyone who's contributed support there? Would have the added benefit of publicising it as a source of support
