Move DOI author list to it's own repo

[Peter Parker]

Martyn has suggested that having the author list as part of the main repo is a bit heavy-handed. Every time we want to make modifications to the list we have to go through the entire ticket life-cycle, even for the smallest of changes.

He suggested that we have the DOI author list as part of it's own small repo, and then have the DOI script go to this repo (using cURL or similar) and parse the author list from there. This way quick-and-easy changes are possible on release days, which is when the DOI script ends up getting run anyway.

It would be helpful to update the release checklist appropriately, so that the person trying to get the release out the door knows how to make changes easily in the case where any new developers have joined us in that release cycle, or someone has added a new alias for themselves on Git.

Moved to Backlog at the code freeze of release 3.2

It was decided that this ticket is not necessary, since we have a way in GitHub to make changes via the website that don't involve ticket creation, etc., and since splitting stuff up over multiple repos is a bit messy.

We also discussed possibly extracting the translation table and the white/blacklists out into their own text files. This was also seen as ultimately unnecessary.
