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 Alias plugin for Supybot
==============================================
Purpose
-------
Allows aliases for other commands. NOTE THAT IT'S RECOMMENDED TO USE Aka
PLUGIN INSTEAD!
Usage
-----
This plugin allows users to define aliases to commands and combinations
of commands (via nesting).
This plugin is only kept for backward compatibility, you should use the
built-in Aka plugin instead (you can migrate your existing aliases using
the 'importaliasdatabase' command.
To add an alias, `trout`, which expects a word as an argument::
<jamessan> @alias add trout "action slaps $1 with a large trout"
<bot> jamessan: The operation succeeded.
<jamessan> @trout me
* bot slaps me with a large trout
To add an alias, `lastfm`, which expects a last.fm user and replies with
their recently played items::
@alias add lastfm "rss [format concat http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/user/ [format concat [urlquote $1] /recenttracks.rss]]"
Note that if the nested commands being aliased hadn't been quoted, then
those commands would have been run immediately, and `@lastfm` would always
reply with the same information, the result of those commands.
.. _commands-Alias:
Commands
--------
.. _command-alias-add:
add <name> <command>
Defines an alias <name> that executes <command>. The <command> should be in the standard "command argument [nestedcommand argument]" arguments to the alias; they'll be filled with the first, second, etc. arguments. $1, $2, etc. can be used for required arguments. @1, @2, etc. can be used for optional arguments. $* simply means "all remaining arguments," and cannot be combined with optional arguments.
.. _command-alias-list:
list [--locked|--unlocked]
Lists alias names of a particular type, defaults to all aliases if no --locked or --unlocked option is given.
.. _command-alias-lock:
lock <alias>
Locks an alias so that no one else can change it.
.. _command-alias-remove:
remove <name>
Removes the given alias, if unlocked.
.. _command-alias-unlock:
unlock <alias>
Unlocks an alias so that people can define new aliases over it.
