This email is basically phased out and replaced by [email protected], yet it requires registration.
Any suggestion for an alternative?

I don't this we should have "team" here at all. The very people who are part of it are in the list below.

I don't think we need an email either, but I do like the "Team" there. This is the citation for R, for example:
@Manual{,
title = {R: A Language and Environment for Statistical Computing},
author = {{R Core Team}},
organization = {R Foundation for Statistical Computing},
address = {Vienna, Austria},
year = {2023},
url = {https://www.R-project.org/},
}
Can we use a URL instead of an email?

There is an author entity website field that could be used for the url:
authors:
- name: "GRASS Development Team"
website: "https://grass.osgeo.org/"

@veroandreo This is different. We have team as the first one of many. R has it as the only one AFAIU.

So should we use [email protected] for the email? And how about adding the year? The suggested citations on the website and in the about panel of GRASS have the year. |

Are we still called GRASS GIS now?

I will change the title in the citation file to GRASS. Note that the releases and thus Zenodo archives are still titled GRASS GIS.

Double-check it is still up-to-date

@echoix That DOI is wrong. We should fix it as soon as possible. I propose updating the citation to GRASS 8.4.1 released on February 24, 2025 with DOI 10.5281/zenodo.14918754.

What is this supposed to match? The latest released version or the one in development?

The latest released version which has a DOI. I think the question is whether to cite major or minor releases. Minor would be better, but will be more work to keep up to date. Automation would help with that.
I will update the version to 8.4.1 and update the release date and DOI to match.
