@erikvansebille would it be beneficial to have some simple maintainer documentation? Currently I thought it would be good for a release checklist (so we don't forget to update our citation file). Perhaps it could also include other useful links for people working in the codebase (e.g., linking to the Scientific Python Development Guide which is a good resource) or software carpentry stuff.

I think having a bulleted list linking resources for oceanographic Python would be helpful (links to xarray tutorials, setting up conda, setting up vscode) though that would be beyond the scope of Parcels, and I don't know where the home of that could be.
