I ran the script, this is what it produced: https://github.com/Kilo-Org/kilocode/blob/d490746ff09a4f2e94f60501b7b26b489af3ef9c/README.md#contributing

The contributors are sorted by contributions desc.

Pull request overview

This PR reintroduces the update-contributors script to automatically fetch and display GitHub contributors in the README. The script replaces a previous implementation that fetched data from an external JSON endpoint with a direct GitHub API integration.

Key changes:

• Rewrites scripts/update-contributors.js to use the GitHub API directly instead of fetching from kilo.ai/contributors.json
• Changes from ES modules to CommonJS for consistency with other scripts in the repository
• Adds an npm script update-contributors to package.json for easy execution
• Updates README.md with a new table-based contributor display format (6 columns) and filters out bot accounts
