Description

Our copyright notice (and package metadata) lists 'Scipp contributors' as authors with a link to the Scipp GH org. The org only shows the core devs. This means that other contributors are not directly visible. This could be an issue esp. for ESS* packages.

Should we change the copyright to list the specific package / repo instead of the org? Or is there an other way to clearly include everyone?
