PATCH 1/1 get-developers: explicitly set devs document encoding

Explicitly indicate the file encoding (to UTF-8) for the DEVELOPERS document. This prevents Unicode decoding errors where some systems assume an alternative default encoding (ex. 'CP1252').

This corrects the following observed error:

    $ ./utils/get-developers outgoing/*
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "./utils/get-developers", line 101, in <module>
        __main__()
      File "./utils/get-developers", line 25, in __main__
        devs = getdeveloperlib.parse_developers()

        for line in f:
      File "...\Python36\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 23, in decode
        return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0]
    UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x81 in position 7087: character maps to <undefined>

Recentyl, we had to do a similar encoding/decoding issue:

5563a1c6a4 support/check-uniq-files: support weird locales and filenames

Do you think you could have a look at it and do a similar tweak to get-developper instead, please?
