Hi, here's a list of potential reviewers, let me know if more required: timokoch, rocsg, msdaldo, sthavishtha, mbagheri20, hvonwah, ranzhengcode, jeremylt, kingyin3613. The latest version of the paper is in the branch Joss-paper-revisions, not main, as we realised we had to make corrections. Let us know if anything else required!

@stke9 thanks for this submission. I am the AEiC and here to help with the initial steps. For the moment, can you please work on the following:

• [ ] Please spell out UK as United Kingdom in your affiliations.
• [ ] Please check those potentially missing DOIs ☝️ , you can call @editorialbot check references here to check them again, and use @editorialbot generate pdf to update the paper.

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@stke9 I have waitlisted this work for the moment since the editors in this domain are all handling several other submissions. We will assign an editor once one becomes available.

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@zhubonan do you think that, if you'd be available, you could help edit this work?

[zhubonan]

Yes, I am happy to edit this work

[stke9]

Great, thanks both. I updated the DOIs and UK typo

Assigned! @zhubonan is now the editor

[zhubonan]

@alexsquires are you OK to review this one?

[zhubonan]

Hello @tomtranter and @ma-sadeghi, this package seems to be in your area of expertise. Would you be happy to review it?

[ma-sadeghi]

@zhubonan Sure, I'd be happy to.

[TomTranter]

@zhubonan it's a conflict for me as I know the authors very well

[alexsquires]

@zhubonan I can review. After we discussed in person I just forgot to comment on the issue to confirm.

[zhubonan]

@zhubonan it's a conflict for me as I know the authors very well

I see, thanks for letting me know!
