Sort contributor listings alphabetically by first name

[Copilot]

This PR addresses the requirement to sort contributor listings alphabetically by first name and remove company affiliations from emeritus member listings.

Analysis Results

After thoroughly examining both README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md files, as well as all other markdown files in the repository, I found:

Current State

• README.md: No contributor listings found
• CONTRIBUTING.md: Contains contributor listings with:
  • Maintainers (2 people): Bob Strecansky, Brett McBride
  • Approvers (3 people): Ago Allikmaa, Cedriz Ziel, Chris Lightfoot-Wild
  • Triagers: Empty section
  • Emeritus members: No such section exists

Sorting Verification

I verified the alphabetical sorting by first name:

Maintainers:

• Current: Bob → Brett
• Alphabetically correct: "Bob" comes before "Brett" ✅

Approvers:

• Current: Ago → Cedriz → Chris
• Alphabetically correct: "Ago" (A) comes first, then "Cedriz" vs "Chris" (both start with C, but "e" comes before "h") ✅

Conclusion

No changes were required as all existing contributor listings are already correctly sorted alphabetically by first name. Additionally, no emeritus members section exists, so no company affiliation removal was necessary.

Fixes #13.
