Hello Terminator maintainers!

I noticed recently that I'm still listed at the top of the README and it struck me that I haven't been involved in Terminator for many years at this point, and so it feels a bit unfair to everyone else who has carried the project since I moved on.

Personally I would suggest putting the name of the current maintainer there, but I leave that choice up to you - I'm just here to say that there's no need for my name to still be there :)

So many years, but you're still number one in number of commits and neither Markus and I would have this wonderful program but for your original contribution. We could modify it to say something like, Originally by cmsj@tenshu, maintained from 2014 to 2020 by Stephen Boddy, currently maintained by Markus Frosch and Matt Rose and many others. That seems a little wordy, but we could do it if you think that's good.

Btw, good to hear from you! I've been using terminator since 0.1 and it's made my life as a sysadmin and developer much better, so thank you for starting this. Apparently I couldn't live without it enough that I offered to take over maintainership of it rather than go without 😄

@mattrose I like your wording even though you think it's long. You could also just do a core maintainer list in order of stewardship, their time of service, and of course marking the originator(s) of the project.

Thanks @cmsj for your input, I think we should mention @mattrose as the main maintainer there, all other are mentioned in the AUTHORS file either way.

Or just leave names out there and mention the full list.

I'm fine with any option you choose, whether it mentions me or not.

Thanks for keeping the project alive!
