Consider packaging and distribution on conda-forge

[matthewfeickert]

In addition to publishing distributions for brew and snap, it would be very nice to also distribute on conda-forge. This would allow for people to install in a self contained and isolated environment in user space through Pixi with pixi global install imgcat.

As imgcat is a Go tool it would basically be just:

• Forking https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes
• Making a new branch
• Copying an existing Go recipe like from https://github.com/conda-forge/brev-feedstock
• Editing for imgcat
• Submitting the results in a PR

Though I see that you (@danielgatis) are already a maintainer of other tools on conda-forge (https://github.com/orgs/conda-forge/teams?query=%40danielgatis) so you know the drill already. 👍

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into adding imgcat to conda-forge. I'm already familiar with the process from other packages, so it shouldn't be too involved. I'll update this issue once I get to it.

Could this issue be left open until you either make a PR to staged-recipes or decide against adding it to conda-forge?
