    content: add a "Contributors" section to the mirror news.
    
    Since we decided that news should help with crowdfunding and to move our
    dev reports there (instead of crowdfunding platforms), let's give more
    visibility on the relevant funding there.

+# Contributors
+
+The work on mirrors was a long run backgroung job which was improved by
+various people, including [Michael
+Schumacher](https://testing.gimp.org/news/2017/05/15/an-interview-with-michael-schumacher-gimp-administrator/).
+
+These recent improvements to improve the mirror procedure, making it safer
+for people downloading GIMP and easier for contributors as well as for
+mirror administrators, were done by the maintainer, Jehan of *ZeMarmot*
+project. The goal is to automatize as possible the process to make our
+list of mirrors always up-to-date, but also to verify the mirrors are
+safe by adding verification scripts.
+We remind that you are [encouraged to crowdfund *ZeMarmot* for
+their continuous GIMP
+improvement](https://www.gimp.org/news/2021/07/27/support-gimp-developers-sustainable-development/).
