Document how to populate foreman-contributors.adoc
The script lives in theforeman.org repo because that's where it has historically lived. That repository also contains the mailmap to ensure multiple identities (different spelling or email) are mapped to a single name.
Something to consider: this doesn't update Katello and the script isn't really suited for that right now. I debated merging the two into one big list of contributors. Simply include Katello contributors as Foreman contributors.
Another note: we need to update the procedures to reuse this: https://github.com/theforeman/theforeman-rel-eng/blob/ebfe21978af75a30a96d3716ddbd403d7b53aac3/procedures/foreman/release.md.erb#L102 https://github.com/theforeman/theforeman-rel-eng/blob/ebfe21978af75a30a96d3716ddbd403d7b53aac3/procedures/katello/release.md.erb#L35

Why don't we move the script to this repo?
It's not just the script, but we also have a mailmap there that's used. Right now it's now used in 2 places and until we fully migrate away from the website, I think it's best to keep it there.
