Add more maintainers

There hasn't been a pull request merged since July 2024. No new release since September 2023. Downloading Lahman data is broken. B-R queries are returning 503 errors. There are 33 active pull requests, four of which were created within the last week. There are two new issues in the last 24 hours. This code is still being used, and I'm not aware of anything (at least in the Python world) that would be a viable replacement.

This isn't to disparage anyone who is a current maintainer on this project. Maintaining any codebase is difficult work, let alone when you aren't being paid for it. But if the current maintainers no longer have the time or energy, then please pass it on to those who are able to be more active.

You're 100% right, and from past experience, new blood has gotten inactive maintainers more active. Reach out and @me in the discord and we'll add you I think

@MichaelGFagan heads up, a while back I started a project called pybbda https://github.com/bdilday/pybbda partly because at that time pybaseball had lost momentum. it's not an exact replacement for pybaseball, and really isn't supposed to be, but it does do some useful things
