Support for CITATION.cff aka citation files from GitHub #3003
Description
Hi,
I would like to suggest supporting .cff files which are the file format for GitHub citation (CITATION.cff). According to Citation File Format (CFF),
Citation File Format is a human- and machine-readable file format in [YAML 1.2](http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html) which provides citation metadata for software.
