Publish niimath package to conda-forge

[hanayik]

Conda is a platform agnostic package manager. It would be beneficial to eventually build and publish conda packages of niimath to conda-forge for Mac, windows, and Linux.

This should be automated using GitHub actions.

A standard way to do this is with a dedicated repo that serves as a feedstock, rather than changing this repo. The steps are outlined here: https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes?tab=readme-ov-file#getting-started. One advantage of going the feedstock route is that it's plugged in to a suite of helpful automation tools (e.g., automated updates when the package changes on pypi, when new python versions are released, when the conda-forge build systems change).

If there's interest, I'd be happy to configure the feedstock.

@psadil , I can start the feedstock repo and get the ball rolling on this. Happy to add you as a maintainer on that repo if you are ok with that.

Just wanted to follow-up on this. Yes, I'd be happy to be listed as a maintainer. Anything I can do to support or help?

[psadil]

@hanayik , I went ahead and created a draft: conda-forge/staged-recipes#32756. If you would like to be listed as a maintainer, please state that you are willing to be one in a comment in that pull request.
