exclude_not_planned

If TRUE (default), exclude contributions to any issues closed as "not planned".

num_sections

• 2 "list" for a more condensed list with github user names only and no avatars, one contributor per line linked to issue contributions.

• 3 "text" for a single line of text containing comma-separated github user names linked to issue contributions.

alphabetical

If TRUE, order contributors alphabetically, otherwise order by decreasing numbers of contributions.

open_issue

If TRUE, open or edit an issue on github in order to notify all contributors that they've been added to your README (see Note).

force_update
