Credits to CoCoA-5 contributors
Description
If we want (and we want) to attract contributions we need to find a proper way to give them credits for their work, and not just in the code...
Now we have work/files by Massimo Caboara, Maria-Laura Torrente, Eduardo Saenz-de-Cabezon, Bjarke Roune, Christof Soeger, Mario Albert (by time of first contribution)
(Thanks to all!!)
How do other systems deal with credits?

Updated by A simple approach would be to have either a manual page about contributors, or a function which prints out some information (or returns the info as a string).

- Manual page this is probably simplest to implement (and likely to suffice for all or almost all uses)
- Function this is a little trickier to implement, but could in principle allow the information to be used inside some other program (could this ever be useful?) Also the function could be defined in CoCoALib, so a list of contributors to CoCoALib can be obtained inside a CoCoALib program.
If we choose to implement a function then perhaps there should be 2 functions: contributors to CoCoALib and contributors to CoCoA-5?
