[Release] 2022-06-14

This is the preparation for the release. The release notes are in the draft release. I will tag and publish the release on June 14 after merging any leftover PRs from #2657, but it would be better if you could review them first.

Do we want to change the contributors approach? Tbh, I find it cluttered and the manual part about it annoys me a lot.

This can be implemented in 10 minutes, will be updated automatically, will be in an additional file other than the readme and looks nice.

I would prefer that contributors are listed in the readme. We could find a way to automate it, but running a script every few months seems ok to me. In any case, I think that discussion deserves its own issue, as the approach you linked also has benefits.

I still think it doesnt belong in the readme. I dont know any other application (that doesnt have like 5 contributors) that does it like this. Its almost 60% of the whole readme (203 lines out of 346). We could also clean up the rest a bit.

I dont know if the rant for example still has it's value. It was written by sebsauvage 9 years ago. We are currently using APIs in many bridges and I for one prefer the api usage (if the content is still reasonably complete).

The authors list seems redundant given that GitHub has a fancy (and auto-updating) contributors page. I'd keep the authors section but remove the list and just link to contributors.

Or, what @Bockiii suggested:

You're right, I never realized how long it was. Let's revamp the README after this release. I disagree that we should completely remove the contributors. We can still link to a formatted file like the one @Bockiii shared.
