Keeping software in the long term

[c-martinez]

Git is great to keep software under version control. But what are the best practices for using git/github? How do you prevent, for instance, people deleting git history and/or moving/deleting repositories? Some guidance on this direction should be provided (included in the guide?)

We have guidance on publishing to software to zenodo: https://guide.esciencecenter.nl/#/citable_software/making_software_citable

Do you think this addresses the problem? If not, could you be more specific about the kind of guidance you are thinking about?

@jmaassen -- I believe this issue was created from an incident on a previous project, correct? Would the guidance address that issue (assuming people followed this advice?)
