• Contributor List Update: The workflow retrieves unique contributor names from the git log and appends them to the README.md file under a new "Contributors" section. Here is the relevant section of the code:

Thanks, looks nice and automatic.

Just one question:
Basically what it does is on every commit it adds another commit.
This clutters the history and also means that one has to run git pull after every push + action run:

Thus I would suggest to only run on a release. This is possible when you add it to https://github.com/jomjol/AI-on-the-edge-device/blob/main/.github/workflows/build.yaml#L274 instead to the main.yml

Also, can you add a comment above <!-- readme: contributors -start --> with something like <!-- Autogenerated, do not manually update, see https://github.com/marketplace/actions/contribute-list -->

I adapted my change requests directly in #3317
