It was only useful for doing #[embassy_executor::main(config = "config()")]`. Now that
it's gone, it makes more sense to build the config in main directly.
It currently contains whoever was first to write some code for the crate,
even if many more people have contributed to it later.
The field is "sort of" deprecated, it was made optional recently:

Due the the reasons listed there I believe removing it is better than
setting it to generic fluff like "The Embassy contributors".
I've renamed the channel module for the MPMC as mpmc. There was a previous debate about this, but I feel that the strategy here avoids importing `channel::channel`. The change leaves `signal::Signal`, but I think that's ok. It is all a bit subjective of course. The bottom line for me is that I really like the term mpmc - it means something to me and aligns with broader naming e.g. in Tokio.
