Well that's handy!

[felixdivo]

Oh. I realize that I probably just pinged all of you by including that snippet. Anyways, thank you all for the great collaboration!

Well that's handy!

Yes! One pretty much only needs to copy it over to the CONTRIBUTORS file.

[hardbyte]

I'll remove email addresses from the CONTRIBUTORS file and add a link to https://github.com/hardbyte/python-can/graphs/contributors

Do you think adding github handles directly to CONTRIBUTORS is worthwhile?
