commit 6f50445db10b282e0c654f85b759f84e022fc444

    NEWS: added names of people who contributed to features
    
    Recently, Gnuastro has started the convention of mentioning the names of
    people who contributed to a certain item in the NEWS file. But this was not
    done systematically (I had just done this based on memory!).
    
    With this commit, I went through all the commits over the NEWS since
    Gnuastro 0.14 and added names mentioned in the commit message, when they
    were missing in the NEWS file.
