I'd use 1

Same here. I didn't answer before because I was sure somebody would tell you 'What would you choose?' before giving the answer.

I'd use 1 too. You would change the verb ending only if you insisted on I for the subject, when it would sound rather stuffy and formal:

'It is not I that make mistakes, but the others who make them.'

An advantage of this syntax is that it lets you use the verb only once:

'It is not I but other people who make mistakes.'

But that still sounds rather officious.

Thanks in advance,

It's (use this ' ) - see the difference: it`s (wrong) / It's (right)

It's not me who make (no "s")

It's not me who make the mistake it's others who make them.

or

It's not me that make mistakes it's others that make them.

You can also use "It is not"(no contracted form).
