Apparent authorship in Zenodo records #72

Closed florisvdh closed 2 years ago

florisvdh commented 2 years ago

From to the Zenodo record (https://zenodo.org/record/5749489) it appears that all repo contributors (https://github.com/inbo/checklist/graphs/contributors) are assumed to be package author. Probably this is an unwanted feature, given the (rightfully) more limited number of authors in DESCRIPTION and in .zenodo.json.

I noticed this because of a PURE email alert.

I see potentially related mismatches with the license. My guess is that .zenodo.json may be malformed, maybe it's just the brackets [] that should be removed from around strings. (Compare with https://github.com/inbo/n2khab/blob/master/.zenodo.json and https://zenodo.org/record/4753914).

Probably the effects of tweaking .zenodo.json are best tested with 'dummy releases' (releases can be removed in GitHub afterwards) using https://sandbox.zenodo.org.
