Add roles and contributors draft to roles.md

please feel free to correct/amend esp. if missing contributors are not listed here. anyone who has contributed to the RSEc should be listed, not only "code" contributions.

Hi @hmenager , I'm missing Dmitry Repchevsky (Github user @redmitry ) here. I don't know whether I should add myself.

Thanks a lot for checking @jmfernandez ! That's weird, I could have sworn he was in the list, but I must have made a mistake. Please add him!

And it would IMHO make sense to differ between current contributors, and contributors only in the past (who are therefore not stakeholders in the product now).

Thanks for the list @hmenager !

However, I see MAJOR problems with the email addresses:

1. They are not needed.

2. Many are outdated and not working.

3. And what's worst, this is not only problematic wrt maintainability, but also GDPR. We would have had needed an agreement from each person to publish their email address.

Suggestion: Quickly reset the HEAD to before 4869d51, before many other commits come on top, so that the emails are invisible in the commit history. Option 2: Delete emails in this PR, merge by squashing, delete this branch.

Thanks, I did remove the addresses, I will squash merge immediately.

I see your point, but for some it's going to be harder to point whether people have completely left the project.
