add citation information

[munkm]

I'd like to cite jupyter-matplotlib in something I'm working on. What is the preferred citation information for this repository? If I use Zotero to scrape the metadata this is what I get:

@misc{jupyter-matplotlib_2019,
	title = {jupyter-matplotlib},
	copyright = {BSD-3-Clause},
	url = {https://github.com/matplotlib/jupyter-matplotlib},
	abstract = {Matplotlib Jupyter Extension. Contribute to matplotlib/jupyter-matplotlib development by creating an account on GitHub.},
	urldate = {2019-11-19},
	publisher = {{Matplotlib Developers}},
	month = nov,
	year = {2019},
	note = {original-date: 2016-07-21T14:38:56Z},
} 

however, I'm not sure of how authorship should be determined? I could list all 13 contributors of this repository, or it could be "Matplotlib Developers", or something else? What would be best here?

I'm happy to contribute this information back into the repo in the readme or a citation file if you'd like too.

Hi, same issue here I need to cite ipympl, is this the proper way of doing it?

Maybe @tacaswell would know best?

@munkm 's citation seems fine to me. For the main repo we push to zenodo, do we do that for ipympl? If not we probably should (that way each release will get a DOI).

I don't think so - how do we go about setting that up?

I just turned it on: https://zenodo.org/account/settings/github/repository/matplotlib/ipympl but it appears I missed "and make a new release" by 15 minutes :(
