👋 @cMadan - the submitting author requested you as the editor - is this ok?

👋 @tyarkoni - your paper.md authors and affiliations aren't formatted right - see https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/submitting.html#example-paper-and-bibliography for an example of how this needs to be.

Re: editor, I would have requested @arokem because of his Python expertise, but he's a contributor to the repository, so it seemed like a conflict of interest.

There's a PR that I think fixes the issues. Let's see...

@whedon generate pdf from branch joss

Whedon commands need to be new comments

ok, looks good

I am interested in volunteering as a reviewer for this submission. I have MRI neuroimaging and python expertise.
I do not have any conflicts to report (I have contributed to one of the project's dependencies, NiBabel, but have not had any involvement with BIDS or pyBIDS).

Thanks @grlee77 - reviewer decisions will be made by the editor, hopefully @cMadan once he accepts
