Originally created by @escobarj on GitHub.

Currently when creating a custom baseline the authors section of the baseline yaml is just a stub. It's designed to be filled in by the user.
Instead, I propose creating two sections. One pre-populated with the mSCP authors, and one to be filled in by the creators of the custom baseline.

Here is an example of how the generated baseline yaml could look.

authors: |
  .macOS Security Compliance Project
  |===
  |Dan Brodjieski|National Aeronautics and Space Administration
  |Allen Golbig|Jamf
  |Bob Gendler|National Institute of Standards and Technology
  |===

  .YourOrg
  |===
  |Name|YourOrg - Team1
  |Name2|YourOrg - Team2
  |===

The YourOrg section can then be filled in with the appropriate information by the custom baseline creators.
