Description

@SommerEngineering

It would be good if Gitea offered support for the new citation file format, cf. https://citation-file-format.github.io/ and https://blog.front-matter.io/mfenner/step-forward-for-software-citation

This is intended to allow scientists to cite software repositories. I can imagine an implementation similar to Github: Similar to the buttons for forks and downloads of repositories, there may be a new button. This will only be shown if the CITATION.cff file exists. With one click the user can copy the citation as e.g. BibTeX to the clipboard.
