Contributor Check makes sure all code contributors are added to CITATION.cff and codemeta.json by commenting in PRs when new contributors make a PR in the repository (see ⬇️ )

⚠️ Metadata check: contributors missing from citation files

The following contributors from this PR are not listed in the metadata files:

Next steps:

  • Add them to CITATION.cff / codemeta.json or update .mailmap if these are aliases.

Instead of .mailmap, maybe we should use an AUTHORS or CONTRIBUTORS file?

Instead of .mailmap, maybe we should use an AUTHORS or CONTRIBUTORS file?

authors and contributors should be referenced in codemeta.json and citation.cff rather than non-structured AUTHORS or CONTRIBUTORS files in my opinion

.mailmap follows a specific structure that allows mapping different identities of the same person to make sure all code contributors are in these files
