Valentin Lorentz 63eb6672ea Revert generic 'The Limnoria Contributors' in copyright notices
This commit reverts db7ef3f02517f9f2a3c56829a22b9fad3c36e374
(though it keeps the year updates)

After discussion with several people, it seems better to mention
copyright owners explicitly. eg. https://reuse.software/faq/#vcs-copyright
explains the issue of using VCSs to track copyright.

As db7ef3f02517f9f2a3c56829a22b9fad3c36e374 only replaced mentions
of my name with 'The Limnoria Contributors', this commit only needs
to undo that + add one person who contributed to setup.py.

Documentation for the Karma plugin for Supybot
==============================================

Purpose
-------
Plugin for keeping track of Karma for users and things in a channel.

Usage
-----
Provides a simple tracker for setting Karma (thing++, thing--).
If ``config plugins.karma.allowUnaddressedKarma`` is set to ``True``
(default since 2014.05.07), saying `boats++` will give 1 karma
to ``boats``, and ``ships--`` will subtract 1 karma from ``ships``.

However, if you use this in a sentence, like
``That deserves a ++. Kevin++``, 1 karma will be added to
``That deserves a ++. Kevin``, so you should only add or subtract karma
in a line that doesn't have anything else in it.
Alternatively, you can restrict karma tracking to nicks in the current
channel by setting `config plugins.Karma.onlyNicks` to ``True``.

If ``config plugins.karma.allowUnaddressedKarma` is set to `False``,
you must address the bot with nick or prefix to add or subtract karma.

.. _commands-Karma:

Commands
--------
.. _command-karma-clear:

clear [<channel>] [<name>]
  Resets the karma of <name> to 0. If <name> is not given, resets everything.

.. _command-karma-dump:

dump [<channel>] <filename>
  Dumps the Karma database for <channel> to <filename> in the bot's data directory. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

.. _command-karma-karma:

karma [<channel>] [<thing> ...]
  Returns the karma of <thing>. If <thing> is not given, returns the top N karmas, where N is determined by the config variable supybot.plugins.Karma.rankingDisplay. If one <thing> is given, returns the details of its karma; if more than one <thing> is given, returns the total karma of each of the things. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent on the channel itself.

.. _command-karma-load:

load [<channel>] <filename>
  Loads the Karma database for <channel> from <filename> in the bot's data directory. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

.. _command-karma-most:

most [<channel>] {increased,decreased,active}
  Returns the most increased, the most decreased, or the most active (the sum of increased and decreased) karma things. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.
