I think only those who actually contributed to the release should be
listed in the "This Release" tile. Also, this whole tile should probably
be moved lower, just above the "All Time" tile. This should group the
contributors together and bring the library description up higher, which
is more important to users.

If you want to acknowledge the original authors, please list them
elsewhere. For example, just mark the authors as "Author" in the "All
Time" tile below, similar to how they are marked now in "This Release".
