[arfon]

Thanks for this submission @dhuppenkothen - do you have any suggestions for people who might be good reviewers for this submission?

[dhuppenkothen]

Do you want the answer to that question in real names or GitHub user names? :)

[arfon]

Ideally both, but feel free to quote GitHub names e.g. @arfon to stop people being pinged accidentally.

[dhuppenkothen]

Ah, I was wondering how to stop them from being pinged!

I think Stuart Mumford (@Cadair) might be a good reviewer. Also, Nestor Espinoza @nespinoza and Matt Pitkin (@mattpitkin). Those are the ones from the list of reviewers whose names stand out, but anyone at the intersection of astronomy and Python would be great, I suspect.

[arfon]

👋 @Cadair - would you be willing to review this submission for JOSS?

[Cadair]

Yeah I would be happy to 😄

[arfon]

@whedon assign @Cadair as reviewer

[whedon]

OK, the reviewer is @Cadair

[arfon]

@whedon start review

[whedon]

OK, I've started the review over in #1393. Feel free to close this issue now!

[arfon]

Thanks for agreeing to review this submission @Cadair - see you over in #1393 for the actual review.
