[GRASS-dev] [release planning] Enable Zenodo before 7.8.6 and 8.0.0

[Vaclav Petras]

Thanks everyone for the support.

I was able to identify some potential issues. Namely, the auto-generated
metadata on Zenodo does not seem to be that great and that includes basic
things like title and license. How an author list will look is hard to say
without trying, but it is promised to be sensible. It seems that a lot of
projects just solve this using a .zenodo.json configuration file which
includes this info, e.g. a full author list.

Although these metadata issues are certainly visible, a DOI will be
generated and usable by itself in any case. Additionally, metadata can be
edited manually after the publishing/release. Finally, having .zenodo.json
is doable (probably through CITATION.cff which would be good to have
anyway). Thus, I don't see this as a blocker, just as something to resolve
on the way.

There seems to be exactly n-1 GRASS-related records not in the community
(where n is all the GRASS-related records). Are we looking at the same one?
