Generate contributors markdown file

Hi, this post is my submision for the actionshackaton

My Workflow

This github action helps to generate markdown file of contributors which obtain the data of the contributors from a file configured as a parameter in the action, for example contributors.json or .all-contributorssrc, and it will generate a markdown file of contributors with a basic template.

Nice idea!
Maybe you could show us what the generated markdown file looks like.
I found one in your repo, which I assume is the generated file, but maybe I'm wrong.
If show want to show a file with more contributors, maybe you can clone something with (a few) more contributors (shall I suggest this one ?) and add your action to it.

Also, I think a "it looks like this" section in the README whould be beneficial.

After looking at your repo, I'm left with a question: where is the template file?
