Wondering if you guys would want to have a Citation.cff file for citing the usage of marimo?

After going through the repository of a few plotting/data visualization frameworks (in relation to a PR related issue in marimo), I came across a Citation.cff file in ArviZ framework repo on GitHub. Both marimo and ArviZ are licensed under Apache-2.0; was just wondering if you guys would like to have a file which helps in citing the usage of marimo (consequently resulting in a Used by category in GitHub as dependents).

Link to ArviZ citation file - https://github.com/arviz-devs/arviz/blob/main/CITATION.cff

This is obviously something which you core maintainers would want to decide on; just wanted to post it here. Do let me know if I should close the discussion. Thanks.

@Haleshot sure, that's a good idea! Would you like to add one to the repo in a PR?

Using the https://citation-file-format.github.io/cff-initializer-javascript site and exploring it's options. It seems most of the common citations file I come across require either a DOI or a orcid number (unique to recognize). I can get a PR running soon.
