Suggestion

Coming over from #11263: this repo has a "Contributors" script that runs on a weekly cron. It updates a CONTRIBUTORS.md file based on the GitHub API... but that's kind of duplicated by the native https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint/contributors feature.

https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint/blob/8915a477608892596fc6ed2bc45dbbac7f41a361/tools/scripts/generate-contributors.mts

Proposal: how about we replace that system with, as @kirkwaiblinger suggested in https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint/pull/11263/files#r2136221369:

a nice note with a link to the https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint/graphs/contributors seems fine too
