I pushed the following changeset to do this and to also use <https://octave.org/copyright/> instead of COPYRIGHT.html:

  http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/bd51beb6205e

Help with the following would be appreciated:

What are the correct accents/characters to use for the following names?

  Ram'on Garc'ia Fern'andez
  Nicolo' Giorgetti
  Nguy?n Gia Phong

Are the following names intentional, or should we be using full names? Do we have a record of contributors who wish to remain semi-anonymous by listing only single names or aliases of some kind?  I'll try to track down the change that lists "Daniel" and see whether that one corresponds to another Daniel already list.

  Amro
  Avlas

Pretty sure both of the above wish to be semi-anonymous.

  Daniel
  Ederag

Ederag is still around the Octave project occasionally.  If he sees this he can decide if he wants credit in the Copyright and contributors file.

  LYH
  Melqart
  Nix
  cctsim

No idea.  The last three don't seem to even be in Mercurial's log.

If there are any additional errors or omissions, please let me know and I'll try to fix.

Thanks,
