Noting this down here too for book-keeping. Perhaps there's a dependabot-like service that we can schedule to run once per week and open a PR with new authors when needed, though the jump from github username to orcid may not be always trivial. |

@madbaron agreed. I can do that in a future PR, I think. |

Looks good to me, thanks! I'd leave it here for a little longer, especially to make sure @pandreetto @kkrizka @gianelle @bartosik-hep have a chance to react. |
This PR adds a LICENSE (Apache-2.0) and CITATION.cff (including all contributors, alphabetically ordered).
This is prep for a workflow that will automatically mint Zenodo records for our software releases, making it easier to cite this software stack.
