Allow creating AUTHORS.md from local repo without using GitHub API

[userzimmermann]

Hey @gaocegege :) You already have the necessary git command and regex defined:

https://github.com/gaocegege/maintainer/blob/5f09778bcf080f106b77c2f07f6fa3a94bb47688/cmd/contributor.go#L34-L51

But you don't use them. I don't think that many people want to create a GitHub API token just for using maintainer. So this should be optional

[gaocegege]

There is a trade-off between ease of use and readability.

Now the Authors.md has the links to authors: https://github.com/gaocegege/maintainer/blob/master/AUTHORS.md. And maintainer's prior implementation without GitHub support does not have this feature.

Yeah I think it should be a opetion.

PS: the GitHub API token is not necessary for contributor command. It is needed for changelog command.

[gaocegege]

Thanks for your suggestion!

@gaocegege And why this happens?

@gaocegege

Now the Authors.md has the links to authors

That's indeed nice! :)

Have you also thought about additional GitLab integration, like we do with GitMate?

[gaocegege]

Yeah but I have no experience in GitLab. I could have a try :)

[gaocegege]

Oh, it seems that we needs token now, my mistake.

@gaocegege I would like to collaborate a bit in maintainer, also to get proper coala bears for it... And it's a nice chance to learn some Go dev ;) I will try to make some PRs regarding me ideas... And will create some Google Code-in tasks for those maintainer based bears

[gaocegege]

Welcome! @userzimmermann
