👋 @pjotrp - the submitting author suggested you as an editor 😁

Make my day. I am not known for being nice ;). OK, let's start looking for reviewers.

@peterjc can you suggest a reviewer? I think this is an interesting addition to python bioinformatics (and beyond)

[peterjc]

Hmm. Reviewing a Python library for efficient access to compressed files - I'd think someone doing IO heavy Python/C would be best. @ctb or @mr-c could you suggest someone?

[ctb]

I can review.
