What's nice is that AUTHORS is just an alphabetical list of people while
the github page ranks people implicitly by some random metric.  It's
also possible for packagers to install this file, currently Debian does
that for CPython's ACKS file but not for pytest's AUTHORS so who knows
how valuable that is.  I don't care overly strong though, I'd vote -0.

Cheers,
