Failing windows-2019 jobs are related to a brown-out due to upcoming deprecation and removal actions/runner-images#12045

[bryanwweber]

Can you remove this affiliation? It hasn't been accurate for three and a half years now 🫣

[ischoegl]

😆 yeah. I'm actually thinking of updating the top statement to:

[...] Below is a partial, alphabetical list of developers and contributors to Cantera over the years, along with their last reported affiliation. If you've been left off or need an update, please report on Cantera's Github issue tracker.

As there are presumably several other issues, the only other viable alternative would be to strip affiliations, as this will be a recurring issue.

[bryanwweber]

Seems like a good update to me 😀

[wandadars]

I think the affiliation can just be handled by the tagged users on their own profiles.

[ischoegl]

Fair point, @wandadars. I stripped the affiliations in an update, see https://github.com/ischoegl/cantera/blob/rename-authors-file/AUTHORS.md

[speth]

I'd really rather we kept the affiliations. I think the suggested update to the statement at the top is reasonable, with the expectation that the affiliation is generally one that is/was applicable at the time contributions to Cantera were being made.

[ischoegl]

@speth - no worries. I kept the commits separate so I just reverted. I did, however, strip the parentheses as the links are visually clearly separated from names.
