Abdessamad Derraz 3a266be7a5 fix: keep the contributors when the request fails
The contributors block is the only part of the README that comes from
the network, and a refused request returned an empty list, which deleted
the section. That happened during a pipeline run and the result was
committed; the freshness check then regenerated the section and failed
on the difference.

An unavailable list now republishes the one already there and says so.
Losing it is a worse answer than a stale one, and it makes an offline
regeneration additive rather than destructive. Reverting the change and
simulating the same outage empties the section again.
