Thank you for submitting your package! I don't see any fundamental isues with this, but I just want to double check on the description "Home of all my lattice dynamics codes written in Julia". That sounds a lot like a "personal package", which we discourage for registration in General.

It does seem like ForceConstants is a fairly general name. I don't have the necessary background to decide whether the package is "complete" in terms of its scope, "calculate interatomic force constants". Or at least, if it's heading there / will be maintained in the future. If this is just packaging up code from your PhD (especially if you are moving on), please consider whether you want to "use up" the name ForceConstants. It may not even be necessary to register the package: unregistered packages can be installed directly from GitHub, so registration is only absolutely necessary if any registered package will have ForceConstants as a dependency. You could also use a VeryLongAndDistinctiveName, and that will receive very little scrutiny, and will not clash with future package registrations.

If you feel that your package is "complete", or if you are planning to maintain this in the long term (accepting PRs from other people interested in interatomic force constants), I don't see a problem with merging this. I'd just ask you to confirm so that I can unblock the registration.
