Conversation
GitHub reads CITATION.cff and offers BibTeX and APA from the sidebar. Without it, anyone citing this repository invents a format, and they each invent a different one. No version or date-released field: both go stale the moment a release lands, and a citation file that disagrees with the latest tag is worse than one that never mentions a version.
