Title: add contributors page

The old version of git-scm.com featured a list of contributors on the "about" page, and the git(1) manpage linked to it. That list is no longer there, but it would be nice for the manpage to be able to link to something (it was one of the comments people on git@vger made when the new site was unveiled last May).

This patch recreates the contributor list from the old site as "/contributors".

While it does work in my development environment, this is almost certainly not ready to be merged. I have virtually no ruby or rails experience, so I'm sure I did something poorly or violated some normal best practice. I also noted some possible problems with the indexing process in the commit message.

I'm hoping somebody more clueful than I can give suggestions (or even better, pick it up and run with it).
