Expose LaTeXML software authors in a standardized format

[physikerwelt]

I discovered that the read-me specifies a set of authors of this software. However, this information is currently unavailable in a standardized format such as codemeta. Such an entry could look like

{
    "@context": "https://doi.org/10.5063/schema/codemeta-2.0",
    "type": "SoftwareSourceCode",
    "author": [
        {
            "id": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2300-0367",
            "type": "Person",
            "familyName": "Miller",
            "givenName": "Bruce"
        },
        {
            "id": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7306-8634",
            "type": "Person",
            "familyName": "Ginev",
            "givenName": "Deyan"
        }
    ],
    "dateModified": "2024-02-26",
    "downloadUrl": "https://github.com/brucemiller/LaTeXML/releases/tag/v0.8.8",
    "name": "LaTeXML",
    "version": "0.8.8"
}

and can be placed in a file called codemeta.json and located in the root of the git repository guide.

While this has no benefit to LaTeXML itself, it would help services like swMATH to get the software metadata correctly.

Hi Moritz,

Are you familiar with github's CITATION files? How do they compare/tie in to such an enhancement?

This is also fine. There should be a so called crosswalk from CFF to codemeta.
