As you can see,

the contributors section is now automatically generated: that will
prevent the chronic problem that nobody took care to update it.

I would like to know if you think that this is a bad idea (I don't
want to give the impression that I don't care about contributors, it's
all the opposite. But I understand that auto-generating this may seem
a bit cold).

[...] I prefer the previous order (Gael and you first, and then the rest in alphabetical order).

I would also opt for this ordering.
 
However, I would keep the descriptions of all contributions (things like "MSVC compatibility fixes, aligned_allocator fixes" for Hauke in the previous version).

But that should stay up to the contributor since at some point the list will be tricky to maintain.
