.getSpecific() always returned the channel-specific but non-network-specific var,
unless the channel-specific and network-specific one was manually set.
This commit reverts db7ef3f025
(though it keeps the year updates)
After discussion with several people, it seems better to mention
copyright owners explicitly. eg. https://reuse.software/faq/#vcs-copyright
explains the issue of using VCSs to track copyright.
As db7ef3f025 only replaced mentions
of my name with 'The Limnoria Contributors', this commit only needs
to undo that + add one person who contributed to setup.py.
feedparser should always catch the error, but someone reported it doesn't
catch this error on TLS cert issues:

So let's catch the error just in case, so it doesn't block all other
feeds.
The default behavior was to announce feeds on all channels with the same name,
which is rarely what was expected.
Instead, this limits it to the current network.
Starting with this commit, there should be no "original" text
in READMEs.
Instead, the entire text should be in docstrings, and READMEs
should be automatically generated from these docstrings.
Motivation:
* The same help is available both via IRC and in the README
(although the README can be more detailed, as only the first
paragraph will be shown on IRC)
* This will allow auto-generating plugin help on docs.limnoria.net
using the same content as the README, as it's sourced from the
docstrings
Additionally, this converts all READMEs from Markdown to ReST,
because the documentation already uses ReST, and other docstrings
in the codebase are in ReST for this reason.
Hopefully this will ease debugging - e.g. a bad TLS certificate will now show
"Error: Couldn't get RSS feed. Parser error: <urlopen error
[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:720)>"
instead of only a generic message.
This fixes confusing "That configuration group exists, but seems to have no help." errors on the URL
options for feeds, when these options are actually relevant and settable.
instead of building a new keyword arguments dict by iteration.
'description' is a field in FeedParserDict, but is not present when iterating,
which made it unavailable as a substitution variable.
