CHANGE authors references via AUTHORS.md file.

AUTHORS.md file usage.

in the interest of not duplicating information, perhaps we should just remove all of this, and just rely on the pyproject.toml file for all project meta data?

i know i suggested this change, but now seeing it, i am wondering if adding an Authors.md is a good idea. in fact i was thinking that we should even remove all meta data from the __init__.py file as well, and just use pyproject.toml for all meta data. then at least there is a single source for all this information...

except for __version__

Yes it was a bit scattered in various places.
I placed now everything to pyproject.toml but I have no good understanding what is the good and appropriate way to do this.
