Entry ownership and editing rights (preservation of)

[joncison]

One of many issues around GitHub-based content management for bio.tools.

[joncison]

Should we preserve the existing ownership and editing rights model, extend it, or abandon it?

• rights should be preserved if an individual or institute want this (there are current examples)
• existing entry ownership / edit-rights would have to be annotated (on entry level) as GitHub handles
• meaning some mechanism to map bio.tools accounts to GitHub accounts would be needed

contributors could appear in a dedicated field to keep history of who contributed and when, but would not prevent editing

[joncison]

We'd need, I think, to tweak the existing "credit" model :
https://biotoolsschema.readthedocs.io/en/latest/biotoolsschema_elements.html#credits-group

credit->typeEntity would be "Person" and credit->typeRole would be "Documentor"

We'd need to add githubid (GitHub User ID) - similar to the orcidid that's already there

And something for the date (when entry was edited) - but I'm not sure where / how to model it exactly. Could add a field to credit, but it needs some thought (could be a better way?)
