Enhance plotting download stats

[marabuuu]

Hi @haesleinhuepf,

this PR closes #334 by modifying the plotting of our download statistics

It would be great if you could add authors I forgot to mention in authors.py. I introduced this file to compare "our" ressources better to "others".

Furthermore, I added some of the visualisations to the statistics section in appendix.
For more details, see the corresponding Issue #334.

Feel free to let me know if you'd like any changes to these plots—I’ll be happy to incorporate them! 🌞

Best,
Mara

Hi @marabuuu ,

looks all good now! Two things I changed.

• I didn't like the authors.py file in the root folder. I moved it to /scripts/
• I added little code in authors.py so that the author "Mara Lampert" and "Lampert, Mara" are recognized as the same person. It remains a workaround, but improves the situation a bit. A general solution might be a huge effort.

Thank you for your changes and the hints!
