@mdsteiner our system could not detect a license. Can you add a plain text LICENSE file to your repository? Adding it to the main repository folder is best (that way GitHub also easily discovers it and will render a clear license badge on your repo). The license needs to be an OSI approved open source license.

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@KristinaRiemer @fboehm @mikldk @csoneson could one of you handle this submission?

[mdsteiner]

thanks for the note! We have now added a LICENSE file to our repository.

As potential reviewers we think that maybe jacobsoj, navmayan, ihrke, or mmrabe (all from the linked list) might be suitable based on their descriptions on the domains/ topics they are comfortable to review.

[fboehm]
