What this fixes

Nine patterns name their contributors on the page, but those names were never connected to the site's Authors page. Those patterns weren't listed under the people who wrote them, and their RSS feed items had no "By…" credit. They were missed when the patterns moved to the new author system in June.

What changes

  • These nine patterns now credit their contributors the same way as every other pattern, with each name linking to the Authors page:
    • Framework for Managing University OSS
    • Integrating OSS into Institutional Software Pathways
    • Lunch and Learn
    • Open Research Community Accelerator
    • Open Source Catalog
    • Open Source Software Prize
    • Open Source Survey
    • OSS Tutorials using Authoring Tools
    • Summer Internship Program
  • Five people are new to the Authors page: Amber Budden, Clare Dillon, Michael Rossetti, Russell Poldrack and Stephen Walli.
  • Nobody has been added to or removed from any pattern's contributors. "Thanks to" and AI-use notes are unchanged. On OSS Tutorials, the notes about what each person did are now a short sentence below the names.

Please check

  • Blanks: Amber, Michael and Russell have no affiliation, and Michael and Stephen have no ORCID, because the pages didn't give one. These can be added to the author list later.
  • Affiliations now come from the shared author list, so a few read slightly differently. For example, Jeffrey Young shows as OSPO@GT rather than Georgia Institute of Technology.

After merging, the Authors page should list all five new people, and Clare should have eight patterns.

These patterns were skipped by the #143 migration: eight use heading
variants the script did not match ("Contributor(s) & Acknowledgment",
"Author(s) & Acknowledgement"), and integrating-oss listed names as
non-bullet lines.

Add authors frontmatter, normalize each heading so the authors hook
finds it, and remove the hand-written names so they are not duplicated.
Keep trailing prose. Move per-person role notes on oss-tutorials into a
sentence, since the hook drops bullets.

Register amber-budden, clare-dillon, michael-rossetti, russell-poldrack
and stephen-walli in authors.yml.
