Discuss the author order for v0.17.0

[seisman]

Maybe we should also move Wei Ji (643) before Leo (258)?

I'm ok with moving up the list, but I'm thinking if we should move Leo to second last (before Paul)? At least in my field, supervisory roles are placed in the last author(s) position, but unsure about what others think here.

Oh, and if moving Leo, we might as well update his affiliation to Universidade de São Paulo.

What do you think about the changes of the author list?

Hi @seisman that's fine with me. I fully trust whatever you all decide. PyGMT has been in very good hands 🙂

FYI to make this easier in the Fatiando projects, we adopted a "Fatiando a Terra Project" as first author and the everyone else is ordered alphabetically by last name (so I'm almost always last). It's been easier to maintain and eliminated the need for this kind of discussion. But it also can remove a bit of emphasis on people who contribute a lot.
