Add files listing package maintainers #137

Open santisoler opened 7 months ago

Description:

After being discussed in the Fatiando Call of 2024-01-18, we noticed that we don't have a public list of the maintainers for each package.

To tackle this, we decided to add a MAINTAINERS.md file on each repo listing them. Its format could be similar to the ones for AUTHORS.md, although I don't think we need to add affiliation or DOI.

Something like this could work:

# Project maintainers

- [First Last Name](https://github.com/github-handle)

Apply to:

We want your help!

We know that maintenance tasks are very demanding, so we don't expect a single person to tackle this issue by themselves. Any help is very welcomed, so please comment below that you want to take care of the changes on any repository and we will assign it to you.

I'm wondering if this is worth doing or if we should list them in the README instead. It won't be a long list and it's more visible in the README. Same goes for the authors files now that I think about it.
