Copyright annotation for Debian #94
Description
Hello! I'm preparing this crate for upload to Debian, which requires me to fill out a copyright file. Right now I have this:

Upstream-Contact: FIXME (overlay) UNKNOWN-AUTHORS

For upstream contact (and also to attribute copyright of the crate) we usually use authors = from Cargo.toml, but this key is not present for libbz2-rs-sys.
There's usually no need to attribute every contribution ever, but usually the main authors of the crate are listed. For reference there's a large amount of copyright files over here: https://salsa.debian.org/rust-team/debcargo-conf/-/tree/master/src?ref_type=heads
Especially for upstream contact I need to figure out something, but also didn't want to pick random people from the git history.
Please let me know how you want us to proceed. :) Thank you!
