Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

While setup.cfg is still supported (and likely will always be supported for python packaging) the recommended approach these days is to use a pyproject.toml metadata file to describe a package and it's dependencies. Looks like there is already a preliminary pyproject.toml file but it is very empty.

Is your feature request related to a new application, scenario round, pathogen? Please describe.

Describe the solution you'd like

Move the gempyor package description into pyproject.toml. The following guides are reputable and detailed:

1. https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/writing-pyproject-toml/
2. https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/modernize-setup-py-project/

Also many modern tools like uv have the ability to help generate the config and resolve dependencies from a friendly CLI, which should help make this a quick issue.
