About Citation Files on GitHub
Yep, came here to say the same thing.
There's already a lot of open source work going on around CSL, which I think originally comes out of Zotero.
While CSL comes from Javascript world, there already is a ruby implementation. https://github.com/inukshuk/csl-ruby
Even if github or other open source authors weren't happy with that implementation (whether for legitimate reasons or "not invented here"), it would still have been nice to do something around the basic CSL standards in some way, instead of inventing a new similar standard in ".cff".

About Citation Files on GitHub
* the citation plugin for Obsidian, which uses CSL-JSON [^4]
This might in the end be my personal preference, but a standardized JSON format (which is just as easily adaptable to YAML [^5]) seems much easier to parse and modify than Bibtex, with its sheer complexity. If we want to have the ability to easily cite anything, then this direction of standardization, I believe, is a must.

Citation File Format
CSL doesn't appear to support software as a 'type' of thing, which it has a hardcoded list of options[0]. Of course, maybe they should have just fixed an existing format instead of creating a new one.
