Pre-release checklist

• Review the open list of nibabel issues. Check whether there are outstanding issues that can be closed, and whether there are any issues that should delay the release. Label them!
• Review and update the release notes. Review and update the Changelog file.
• Look at doc/source/index.rst and add any authors not yet acknowledged.
• Use the opportunity to update the .mailmap file if there are any duplicate authors listed from git shortlog -nse.
• Check the copyright year in doc/source/conf.py
• Refresh the README.rst text from the LONG_DESCRIPTION in info.py by running make refresh-readme.
• Check the dependencies listed in pyproject.toml (e.g., dependencies, project.optional-dependencies) and in doc/source/installation.rst and in requirements.txt. They should at least match. Do they still hold? Make sure nibabel on GitHub Actions is testing the minimum dependencies specifically.
• Make sure all tests pass (from the nibabel root directory): tox
