Ported from jquery/2012-dev-summit#44

A crude version of this was working in the nanoc build using the github metadata, where we'd hit the github API for whoever was specified in that metadata, an obviously subpar solution. We should read the file's git history and display the full list of contributors who've actually worked on the file (ranked?).

Not sure what to display, exactly, however, for contributors, as I don't think we want to be hitting the GitHub API during build anymore.

We may still have to grandfather in the "original contributors" using some metadata, for people who wrote articles in other sources and donated to the learn site, but didn't make the initial commit contribution themselves (as in the case of the original jQuery Fundamentals content)

Looking up contributor history might be useful for other sites besides learn, so this might be something we could incorporate into grunt-jquery-content perhaps.
