Submitting astropy core lib for pyOpenSci review

[Pey Lian Lim]

To whom it may concern,

As you might have known, https://github.com/astropy/astropy-APEs/blob/main/APE22.rst (Astropy Affiliated Packages with pyOpenSci) has started a process where new Astropy Affiliated Package submissions would go through pyOpenSci review process.

Furthermore, Sunpy also went down a similar path and they even submitted sunpy package itself for review (ref: https://sunpy.org/posts/2024/2024-01-24-pyopensci/).

Along that vein, I thought it might be uncontroversial to have astropy core lib reviewed there, which would also serve as a good example if we ever want to shepherd (note: we should never mandate) Astropy Coordinated packages for reviews as well. Thus, I opened https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/251 , which I admit was a little too haste and I apologize for it.

Affiliated Package Editors requested that I also post here to collect more feedback on whether we should actually proceed or not. Options:

1. Address remaining todo on https://github.com/pyOpenSci/software-submission/issues/251 and make it ready for review.

2. Close the issue without further action.

Please let us know what you think.

Thank you,

Pey Lian

The coordination committee discussed this in light of the Slack discussion (which seemed to be stalled without a consensus being reached), and are thinking to go ahead with the review with the caveat that we want to be sure it's something like the detail level Sunpy got, which according to the Sunpy devs was helpful but did not create any undue burden on the maintainers.  As long as the same is true here, we will proceed.
