Fetch or auto-discover contributors (auto-generate) #117

Description

  • all-contributors-cli version: 5.4.1

Problem description:

Currently, add let's you manually add contributors. However, for existing projects, it may be tedious and error prone to follow this manual approach; thereby creating a high barrier of entry for anyone who wants to start implementing the spec.

Suggested solution:

It'd be great to have a way of auto-discovering this information. E.g.

  • commmitters -> code
  • issue creators -> bug
  • pull requests -> code

Github's contributors API can help discover the first item; while issues API can take care of the remaining two.

If there is interest in adding this, I can help send a PR.
