:wave: @nenasedk, @TomGoffrey & @l-sz, would any of you be willing to review this submission for JOSS? We carry out our checklist-driven reviews here in GitHub issues and follow these guidelines: https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/review_criteria.html

As you can see we are already in the middle of the review process, but have had some delays and reviewers becoming unavailable such that we now need to find alternative reviewers. Ideally we would aim to finish the review within 2-4 weeks, but let me know if you need more time.
