Description
codemeta includes fields that don't exist in DESCRIPTION (e.g. author ORCIDs). Currently the interface just writes out a codemeta.json file directly, rather than providing an intermediate R object and utility functions for modifying (or extracting) metadata from it.
Ideally create_codemeta() would return an S3 object that could be modified with appropriate helper functions for adding these additional fields. A clever implementation could include the ability to infer some of these fields from sources other than the DESCRIPTION file (e.g. one could image querying GitHub for a list of contributors, and helping add these contributors to the codemeta.json (and optionally, to the DESCRIPTION?) with appropriate flags (e.g. some GitHub contributors might be mustBeCited = FALSE).
