Subject: [PATCH] fix(docs): restore site footer after mystmd conversion
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The mystmd migration ported the footer styling in assets/css/site.css
(the `.footer` / `.outer-grid` rules, including the site-title heading)
but never added the footer content part. In the book-theme the
site-wide footer is a content part wired via `site.parts.footer`, which
was missing from config/scientific-python.yml — so no `<footer>` was
rendered and the site title that lives inside it disappeared.

Add docs/footer.md (site title, maintainer blurb, and links) and wire it
up with `site.parts.footer`, matching the upstream scientific-python-myst
-theme layout the CSS already expects.
