Find CITATION outside root directory in Github
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not related to a true problem. For people using the direct archiving of software to Zenodo from Github, some conventions ask for the CITATION file not to be in the root directory (but for example in /inst, for R) (see https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/utils/html/citation.html).
Describe the solution you'd like
The metadata fetched from the CITATION file by Zenodo is actually really good, it would be even better if it looked also outside the root directory and could parse usual formats as Github does (see https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/about-citation-files).
Describe alternatives you've considered
Having duplicate CITATION files (one in root directory, one in /inst, but this is far from ideal
