patch
The list of authors and contributors was hardcoded in mainwindow.py.
It has been bothering me for a while. We never really kept it up to date and changing it always felt "touchy". People who haven't touched Pitivi in years (sometimes all the way back to 2004) were still listed prominently there. Newer contributors were absent. Relative importance of contributors was not accounted for.
For those reasons, I consider it disrespectful to contributors.
Proposed solution: only hardcode the maintainers (those don't change often), and point to ohloh and git shortlog.
