The page name aren't directly meaningful. In contrib.md for instance I
would expect to find how to contribute. In git.md instead I would
expect to find how to download GNU Boot but not how to contribute.
Since the authors page isn't meaningful anymore for GNU Boot as it has
different priorities than Libreboot at the time where it was fully
free, and also because GNU Boot also wants to put forward smaller
contributions, especially contributions that aren't recorded in git.
As the GNU Boot project doesn't have the same community or dynamics
than the Libreboot project had, the gaps it has are different. So we
also try to put forward contributions that fills these gaps.
However since this page is very important historically, so we need to
keep it not to forget about it. So to fix that we added GNU Boot's
point of view and moved it in the history section.

Without this fix we have the following error on Trisquel 11 when
building the GRUB payload:
configure: error: qemu, coreboot and loongson ports need unifont
Trisquel 10 also has an 'unifont' package, and installing it doesn't
break the build of the GRUB payload.

The entries inside the "Verified copyright headers" section refer to
commit hashes. And since a commit can't refer to itself (unless SHA1
is broken), we split that in two commits.

Without this commit we have no way of tracking the status of files and
we risk making the same verification too many times.
Ideally we also need procedure and/or tools to make sure omissions
don't get in.
So far the work to update some of the headers on some of the files
required to look at multiple git repositories and even tarball
releases, and in some cases it even required good knowledge of the
provenance of the files to reconstruct the proper history.
In contrast the way we track contributions in git makes it much easier
to fix subsequent omissions of people/dates in the copyright headers.

While this doesn't show the complete history of GNU Boot, it is at
least useful for fixing missing copyrights inside copyright headers.
Also I tried adding the first tarball releases of Libreboot, before it
was in git, inside the same git-history.dot and it turned out to be
way too messy as some arrows ended up mostly in the same place making
it impossible to distinguish which arrow went where without using
color or other ways of distinguishing them.
However the textual version of the tarball history turned out to be
easier to read/understand so we used that.
