WIP: detailed analysis of the metadata in the OSSR records

⇒ part of the CODEMETASOFT project (OSCARS cascading grant)

⇒ the goal is to identify mistakes in codemeta.json, automatically propose updates to fix them, and provide mechanisms to maintain codemeta.json up-to-date

https://rs-quality-checks-2b2333.gitlab.io/ : 1st step comparing metadata provided by maintainers in their codemeta.json file to the metadata provided by other sources (e.g. github/gitlab, readme, license file, etc…)
