Find a JOSS reviewer

This script simplifies the process of choosing a JOSS reviewer given the list of volunteers, some keywords, and some programming language names.

Usage

Optionally, set up a conda environment:

conda env create --prefix ./env -f environment.yml
conda activate ./env

Install the script:

python -m pip install .

Then run the search. To search for reviewers with expertise in astronomy and cosmology, and experience with Python and C++, you would run something like:

joss-reviewer astronomy cosmology -l Python -l C++

Use joss-reviewer --help for all the command line options.

GitHub interface

This script can also fetch information about potential reviewers from the GitHub API. To enable that, create a personal access token and provide it using the GITHUB_API_KEY environment variable. The script should then automatically print information about the potential reviewers top repositories.
